Minor Case Straight Rye Whiskey (Sherry Cask Finish)
90 proof NAS Rye Limestone Branch Distillery Lebanon, KY $48 51% rye, corn, malted barley
Nose

Floral and fruity nose; not grassy or minty like typical high-rye whiskeys

Palate

Chewy mouthfeel with spice that doesn't attack the tongue but sits on top of the mouth and palate; good spice profile without being harsh; fruit sweetness from sherry cask finish

Finish

Secondary syrup-like sweetness that washes across the back of the tongue with a nice kick

Noteworthy
An accessible introductory rye that bridges bourbon and rye styles with floral sherry cask notes and a chewy, spice-forward palate—exceptional for Manhattans.
