Walleye Run Very Small Batch Malted Rye Whiskey Double Barrel (2024-1)

Nice solid pour. It's got that fruity, pot still whiskey on the nose, rye herbalness/mint isn't really there. Front palate is clean, leading to the mid palate of light vanilla and brown sugar, and wood. Finishes well, but again, very clean. This isn't a complex or heavily layered whiskey, but it portrays it's core flavors well, and it very crushable. I think it's priced a bit high, but it's their own distillate aged for 7 year from a craft distillery, so I guess price is higher for that reason.

This is some good stuff!! This is a bourbon drinker's rye, and you gotta give them credit since they are using their own distillate. The double barrel influence is definitely there. Sweet tea flavor dominates the front/mid palate, finish lingers a bit but nothing crazy. This was very enjoyable at well worth the 90 I paid
