Rise of the Robots Extended Cut – Cast Strength Rye Whiskey (108 Proof)
108 proof 5.5 years Rye Filmland Spirits Los Angeles, CA $84.99 95.5% rye, 4.5% malted barley
Nose

Subtle and unassuming for a 95.5 rye; less bright cedar freshness than typical high-rye expressions; minty character present but restrained; candy notes developing with age.

Palate

Mint-forward with spearmint leaning; clove and pepper notes; refreshing mint wash across the tongue; smooth delivery despite 108 proof; hints of rye muffin with buttery undertones; balanced spice.

Finish

Very lengthy finish with persistent mint; pleasing clove spice; dry rye muffin character; sourdough bread quality to the aftertaste; mint returns on the finish.

Really good
An exceptional cast-strength rye that balances bold proof with refined minty freshness and clove spice, delivering a longer, more nuanced finish than the standard expression.
