Firestone & Robertson TX Experimental Rye
Country: USA
Region: Texas
Type: Rye Whiskey
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 63.07%
Score: 92 Points
This 100% rye whiskey was bottled after 4 years and 5 months of maturation, but what makes it even more unique is that it was distilled from a mashbill of 85% rye and 15% malted rye. The nose is spicy and dry with hints of molasses and ginger snap cookies, honey, vanilla, and a hint of oak. The taste has clove, cinnamon, and ginger balanced nicely by molasses and brown sugar notes underneath, while the finish is long with gently fading spices and a touch of brown sugar. (July, 2020)
