Monks Road Fifth District Cold Spring Distillery Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (6 Year, High Rye, 100 Proof)
100 proof 6 years Bourbon Log Steel Distillery Gethsemane, KY
Nose

Sweet caramel and butterscotch with a subtle floral note and spice from the rye peeking through. Not overly aggressive with ethanol for 100 proof.

Palate

Butterscotch and pop rocks sensation that slides back with the rye spice, followed by an old Kentucky hug. Well-balanced distribution of flavors across front and back palate. Second sip reveals increased sweetness as oak begins to emerge. Buttery popcorn/kettle corn quality.

Finish

Little dry, similar to a light red wine dryness typical of high-rye bourbons. Medium to long finish with developing aromatic menthol from the rye and well-integrated oak.

Recommended
A well-balanced high-rye bourbon with classic family heritage that delivers smooth butterscotch and rye spice in a measured, approachable package.
