Whistlepig Rye TripleOne

Country: USA

Region:

Type: Rye

Bottler: WhistlePig Farm

ABV: 55.5%

Score: 90 Points

WhistlePig TripleOne Rye Whiskey.The name comes from the 111 Proof (55.5% ABV) and 11 years age statement, and has a nose that is strong and spicy with good notes of toasted oak and tobacco, wet leather, soft pepper and honey. The taste is thick and chewy with good rye spice, toasted oak, and intense cinnamon that doesn’t overpower the honey underneath. The finish is spicy and long with cinnamon and rye notes, hints of honey and dark chocolate underneath. (December, 2012)
