Rocktown Single Barrel Rye Whiskey Cask Strength
125 proof
35 months
Rye
Rocktown Distillery
Nose
Dried plums, dates, subtle sweetness with oak and tannins upfront.
Palate
Dried fruit character, sweetness, cloves reminiscent of glazed ham, oak presence with char, non-chill filtered texture.
Finish
Pepper on the back end, not overly drying, medium-length finish with lingering oak.
Overall Score
4 / 5
A dark, characterful rye whiskey that drinks older than its 35 months thanks to Arkansas heat, with rich dried fruit and spice notes.
