Robert McKay 3.8

According to the people at Oregon Spirit, this whisky is a limited edition they made just for Total Wine. A bottle cost me $44.99. I couldn't find any information about the mash bill, but since it's a rye whisky it has to have at least 51% rye, and of course there's wheat in it. It's 90 proof, four years old, and is copper with a slight golden tinge. 𝗡𝗼𝘀𝗲: The most prominent note is a minty eucalyptus, which I've learned to associate with wheat. I also get dark honey, a fresh note that I can't otherwise describe, and a hint of what might be smoke. 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹: Creamy. 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲: Honey, butter, eucalyptus (the wheat again), a little cinnamon, and brown sugar. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵: The finish is short, with eucalyptus, bitter oak (but pleasant), and semisweet chocolate. 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: This is a very interesting whisky. It doesn't come across either as a rye whisky or a wheat whisky - it's different from both. But it's very good, and I wish it was a permanent offering. 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: On my hick scale, which has eight levels with 1 at the bottom, this comes in at 6, Fine. That comes out to 3.75 out of 5 stars, 75/100, or 7.5/10.
