Two James Spirits Catcher's Rye

What a great name for a Rye Whiskey! Catcher in the Rye is one of my favourite books and the subtle hints all over the label to the book is impressive. - The nose is bright with sweetness and hints of green, almost dill in tone. - On the palate it hints you with the traditional rye whiskey spice, given its 100% rye. - It then balances out that sharp spice with a beautiful honey sweetness. Additional notes from the distillery: - (March 2020) Now aged for 5 years in 53 gallon New American Oak Barrels, up from 2 years of original release.

this is really nice grain to glass 100% rye. I’ve been wanting to try this for years, and it was well worth the wait. I wish distiller would update their rating as no doubt this stuff is well over 3 years aged now, and tastes like it. it’s smooth but spicy with notes of chocolate, mint and cherry. long finish … one of the best ryes I’ve had in a while.

Phenomenal woody oak on the nose. It’s almost like you’re in a wood shop. Definitely wood heavy on the palate. There’s an odd metallic flavor that really throws this off. No layering to the flavor; very one dimensional.

Nose is a bit sweet, seems floral. Nice heat on initial sip, def get the floral after taste. New to the Ryes but this one doesn’t compete with what I have tasted prior.

Nice spice and fruit note. Leaves a lasting finish. For such a young eye, is nicely rounded.
