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 New Haven, KY
Nose

Sweet caramel and butterscotch with a light floral note; rye is present but not overly aggressive; minimal ethanol for 100 proof.

Palate

Butterscotch and pop rocks on the tongue; high rye character creates a dry quality; buttery popcorn and kettle corn notes; well-balanced distribution of flavor across the palate; slight sweetness builds on the second sip with oak becoming more apparent.

Finish

Dry with a Kentucky hug; medium to long finish; spicy rye develops with aromatic menthol notes; oak presence is appropriate for six years without being overpowering.

Above average
A well-balanced high-rye bourbon with pleasant butterscotch and kettle corn character, offering a respectable introduction to the Dant family's return to bourbon production.
