Middle West Spirits Dark Pumpernickel Rye Straight Rye Whiskey (Batch #017)
96 proof NAS Rye Middle West Spirits Columbus, OH Pumpernickel rye, soft winter wheat, yellow corn, and malted barley (percentages non-disclosed)
Nose

Unique and unusual earthy forest floor character; fresh cedar shaving notes; pine forest floor quality; interesting blend of freshness and earthiness; nothing previously experienced in a whiskey.

Palate

Sweet and full-bodied with a massive wash of flavor; explosion of flavors that unfolds on the palate like a time-release capsule; not as much rye spice as expected upfront; rainbow of flavors happening simultaneously; very flavorful and complex; flavor evolves as it moves back on the palate.

Finish

Lingering finish with continued flavor release; maintains the complex flavor profile.

Really good
A remarkably flavorful and complex rye with an unusual forest floor character and four-grain composition that delivers a unique sensory experience.
