True Story Rye Whiskey, Finished in Ambarana and Sherry Casks, Volume 1
100 proof
6-8 years
Rye
True Story
Louisville, KY
Nose
Prominent cinnamon from the Ambarana with chai spice character; layers of vanilla and complexity from the dual sherry casks.
Palate
Flavor bomb with multiple layers; cinnamon and vanilla from Ambarana and sherry upfront, followed by rye spice on the back of the palate; wheels-turning complexity that doesn't taste like 100 proof at all.
Finish
Lingering spice and sherry notes; the rye spice comes through on the back of the palate after initial finishing barrel flavors subside.
Top notch
A remarkable flavor bomb that showcases masterful balance between bold Ambarana cinnamon, sherry complexity, and underlying rye character for an unforgettable sipper.
