Coppersea New York Raw Rye

Country: USA

Region: New York

Type: Rye

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 45%

Score: 83 Points

This unaged Rye whiskey from Coppersea Distilling in New York’s Hudson River Valley has a warm, smooth, and spicy nose with notes of allspice, fresh bread, hints of honey, campfire smoke, ginger, grass, and straw. The taste is smooth and spicy with chili powder, hints of lemon zest, straw, grass, and dried flowers. The finish is clean with lingering spiciness and a touch of citrus tartness. (July, 2014)
