This rye whiskey from Liberty Pole Spirits in Washington, Pennsylvania is a throwback to the days when Pennsylvania ryes dominated the market. The nose has a nice balance of baking spices, molasses, brown sugar, and cocoa beans. The taste has notes of dark chocolate, black pepper, clove, molasses, brown sugar, and honey, while the finish is long and spicy. Excellent! (November, 2024)
