Stauning Rye "El Clasico"Vermouth Cask Finish. Image courtesy Stauning Whisky.This single barrel Danish Rye is finished in Spanish Vermouth barrels. The nose is spicy and warm with clove, honey, a hint of molasses, cocoa, and a touch of maple. The taste is thick, chewy, and spicy with black pepper, clove, and chili powder notes that fade to reveal hints of apple, cocoa, honey, and maple. The finish is long and mouthwatering with subtle fruits and spices. Wow! (June, 2020)
