About this bottle

Oppidan is a distillery based in Illinois that's working on a purist model. Instead of blending grains that might "hide" behind each other, they set out to make a whiskey that follows the European single malt concept. Therefore, this rye is made from 100% malted rye. It's aged in a variety of barrel sizes from as small as 15 gallons to 53 gallons for about a year.

pcolton 3.8

Cinnamon, spice, and most things nice. Spicy, but not harsh . Nose of orange, citrusy, but with weird sweetish thing going on. Nice when you are looking for something with lots of pop and zing... not a mellow drink.
