All the way from Colorado comes Distillery 291's Single Barrel Rye, which is made with a mashbill of 61% malted rye and 39% corn. Following distillation, the spirit is allowed to age in American white oak casks for a year and is finished with aspen staves before being bottled. It's excellent stuff, and has received accolades which confirm that, including the World's Best Rye at the World Whiskies Awards 2018.
Maple syrup on pancakes, almond butter, a good whack of cinnamon.
Peppercorn, salted caramel, sponge cake and honey.
Jammy strawberry, dried cedar with a subtle whiff of smoke.
Phenomenally complex Rye whiskey, definitely worth the money. I was lucky enough to visit the distillery and the guys were fantastic, have been hooked ever since
