Michter's Fort Nelson Barrel Strength Rye – Single Barrel Fill (Fort Nelson Exclusive, ~104-107 Proof)
104-107 proof NAS Rye Michter's Louisville, KY 55% rye (Kentucky-style rye)
Nose

Grain-forward with caramel background, toasted oak, citrus (lime), unusual spicy grape or purple iris note.

Palate

Heavy spice, horehound candy quality (exacerbated by cough drop in mouth), fairly high rye profile for a Kentucky-style rye.

Finish

Spicy and warm.

Decent
A spicy, grain-forward rye with interesting aromatic complexity that pairs well with food but leans heavily on spice rather than sweetness.
