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 whiskey - as you might expect, FEW Rye makes a mean Manhattan...
The aroma is particularly fruity with notes of apples, pears and plums with a spicy after thought.
The flavour is as fruity as the aroma with more apples and pears but also a little unripe banana and candied orange peel.
The finish is long and lingering with notes of fresh orange juice, spice and apple tart.
This is a truly exceptional tipple with a beautifully balanced and fruity flavour profile.
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
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.
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.
Tasting notes are bang on for this terrific Rye whiskey.
