About this bottle

Tatoosh Distillery was founded in 2009 by longtime friends, Troy Turner and Mark Simon, in Seattle, Washington. Both had whiskey loving great-grandfathers -- Troy's was a moonshiner during Prohibition and Mark's sold bottles of Jack west of the Mississippi. Through this, they were inspired to produce craft spirits that highlight ingredients from the Pacific Northwest. Tatoosh Rye is distilled from local rye grains (about 70% rye and 30% corn), mashed and fermented before going through copper pot stills. It ages for an undisclosed period of time in new American oak barrels with a #4 char. Bottled at 43% ABV.

Yep, it tastes like rye. A lot of mineral. There is also some nice tart rye character, making it kind of refreshing. There's some spiciness, but not too much. It isn't terribly sweet. There are some floral notes for sure but there is also some nice fruit on the finish. It's pretty generic so it would be a good mixer. The more I drink though, the less I enjoy sipping it. Really, it's a lot of mineral and a dose of spice with not a lot else. That sweet, caramel apple bit is kind of nice but the rest is not that great. I'd rather not sip this.

This is a tasty Rye. Not as smooth as things like Templeton but I like it.
