Pinhook Rye'd On

Let sit for about 5 minutes. 👀: Medium-pale copper tinge with legs; 👃: Very minty fresh like spearmint, the young rye notes definitely shine forth, nutmeg and other baking spices on the back end, freshly cut apple at the end; 👅: Tastes just like it smells (like you are chewing on a mint gum), can definitely feel the creaminess, spicy at the back end, like no rye I've ever tasted, this must be how young rye tastes; 🏁: A bit lingering, the creamy mouthfeel still lingers, might want to clean your palate before trying something else, minty aftertaste.

Nose - Lemon grass and Spiced Apples. No real note of rye. Mild and kind of buttery. On the pallet there is a mild fruitness with the apple coming through and the rye makes a mild showing after the apple on the front. Then a hint of tobbaco after the fade. It falls off just short of the perfect time. Almost long enough to make a memory,but then it fades. Crisp and dry in the end. This would make a great mid summer day sipper outside no matter the reason. I can't wait to see what this does after sitting in a barrel 4 more years.

Nose: rye spice and slight hint of fresh mint, raw honey, caramel apple, and light cereal undertones. Palate: Caramel apples punches through first in the mouth then fades to rye spice. The barrel influence comes through as a slight vanilla on the finish. Finish: long, thick and chewy. It's a decent rye, but I think needs a little more age. Promising stuff from Pinhook and Castle & Key.

Nose: youth light apple flowers Taste: almost a grassy effervescence hits you first then a tangy fruity with a med spice and rye. Has a little youth. Finish: the tang lingers but not a long finish. A little spice and burn stays with you.

Nose: crisp light apple, very subtle caramel Palette: caramel and sweet, hard to pick out notes Finish: very subtle rye spice that doesn't linger long. Unique for a rye, very good. Rye Humor Lot 1

I do like this and it’s very easy to drink for 48.5% I’m getting a clove spice with a grassy, almost dill like character than I pick up on the nose and immediately taste. Nice whiskey!
