Mash Bill: 80/20 Rye/Malted Barley

Proof: 101.8 proof (barrel proof)

Barrel: #1855, 53-gallon, Char #4, 36 months air-dried staves

Barrel Date: 8/11/15

Age: 4.5 Years

Tasting Notes:  The nose is an immediate baking spice reminiscent of Christmas cake. The taste is all kinds of fruit and spice. There are notes of lemon curd and blueberries. It's cinnamon and cardamom. The finish lingers with a little vanilla frosting, blueberry cobbler and oak.

I love these funky McKenzie ryes. After Pursuit Series 018 Finger Lakes Distilling pick I've been chasing this whiskey. It's so different from ordinary rye's. It packs plenty of rye spice. But, it also layers in unique fruit and citrus notes.
