Leiper's Fork Distillery Straight Rye Whiskey
95 proof 3 years 10 months Rye Leiper's Fork Distillery Franklin, TN $85.99 55% rye, 30% corn, 15% malted barley

Candied orange and marmalade with licorice notes; spice drops characteristic of the distillery's barrel aging; peppery orange with floral notes emerging; dark and rich aromatics.

Full-bodied flavor distributed across the entire palate—front, middle, back, cheeks, and under the tongue; toasted rye bread with marmalade jelly and salted butter; pumpernickel notes with spiced candy drops; sweet with complementary spice from both the rye grain and barrel.

Medium to long finish; marmalade and candied gum drops lingering on the tongue; sweet spice drops persist; no bitter aftertaste; not drying.

Really good
A beautifully crafted Southern-style rye that delivers exceptional flavor complexity through the interplay of spice from both grain and barrel, with lingering sweetness and no harsh edges.
