FEW Rye Bottling Note

With an ample proportion of rye in its mashbill, along with corn and malted barley, FEW Rye is a fantastic example of top-notch American craft distilling. It comes from Evanston, Illinois, a city that suffered Prohibition for over one hundred years thanks to many of its advocates hailing from its dry streets. In fact, FEW rather cheekily takes its name from the initials of Frances Elizabeth Willard, a key figure in the Temperance Movement.

Thankfully, Evanston is now home to this excellent craft distillery, producing a plethora of incredible spirits! A spicy, fruity, delicious spirit drink - as you might expect, FEW Rye makes a mean Manhattan...

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose The aroma is particularly fruity with notes of apples, pears and plums with a spicy after thought.

Palate The flavour is as fruity as the aroma with more apples and pears but also a little unripe banana and candied orange peel.

Finish The finish is long and lingering with notes of fresh orange juice, spice and apple tart.

Overall This is a truly exceptional tipple with a beautifully balanced and fruity flavour profile.

Reviews for FEW Rye
Solid rye
Solid rye dram. Good value for the price. Not going to knock your socks off, but this is a solid rye. I don't get as much fruit as master of malt, but i get spicy black tea with a touch of vanilla and honey and pepper, rye toast with candied orange peel, a bit dry on the finish. Nice on ice too, holds up to a couple ice cubes.

Not the best
Not the smoothest bourbon and little taste of the described fruits

I Was really looking forward to this, great reviews persuaded me. First impressions were great, nose is as described. Fruity, pear like. Yum, I thought.
Unfortunately the taste is, well, not right, there’s a rather nasty ethanol/white spirit taste to go with those pear-drop flavours. To the point that it’s practically undrinkable.

I’ll go with Michters next time.

Very disappointed.

Great rye!
Nose: large bouquet of ripe red apple, green pear, big malty backbone, slight fennel.
Taste: forefront of dark grassy deep sweetness, spicy on the edges, slightly acidic and salty notes, candied orange
Aftertaste: A long, bitter sweet orange with spicy and spiky stabs on the edge. Nice

Try it
The above description fits this drink perfectly. As usual I order my drink and pay for it later. After enjoying my ounce I was surprised at how inexpensive it was. A “must try” for any whiskey drinker.

Spicy and sweet
It isn't often that a whisky or whiskey manages to really balance spice with fruit in subtle ranges, let alone at the volumes Few Rye does. It's fruity sweet but never 'pucker' sweet and adds a very notable spice. I'm still not sure which ranks above the other but I know that they're both entirely enjoyable. There are many far more expensive ryes, bourbons, and single malts that fail to do what this relatively inexpensive rye does.
