Oak Lore Port Cask Finish Rye Whiskey (Story Series)
92 proof 3-4 years base + 12-18 months port finish Rye Oak Lord Distilling Company Matthews, NC $69.99
Nose

Abundant fruit from the port finish, bright and inviting.

Palate

Berry pie and caramel with bright raspberry, tawny toffee notes, grape-seed tannins providing astringency, rye stands up well to the finish without being overwhelmed.

Finish

Grape skin and berry-driven with a slight drying quality, balanced and not overdone.

Above average
A well-executed port finish that adds rich fruit character while allowing the rye base to maintain its identity and balance.
