    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Some dusty spice, a touch of Norwegian hand cream and cocoa at first with sweet liquorice, Curaçao, vanilla custard and crème caramel developing.

    Palate

    Fruity, then wonderfully spicy rye. Sweet liquorice again (specifically the coconutty/nougat-y pink Liquorice Allsorts that have a black bit in the middle), plenty of oak and then clove drops on the tail.

    Finish

    Vanilla with cinnamon and apricot Danish.

    Clean and smooth, doesn't burn like you would think 55% alcohol would.

    A high proof rye whiskey with (for me) 0 burn. Pikesville for me joins along with whistle Pig as a rye you can drink, without feeling like you just ran sandpaper down your throat. It was $50 at my local state store (Alabama, ABC store) most definitely worth the money.

    A canny wee drop remoaners claim about!

    Some fool has mentioned this is priced so because of Brexit. But at least as an English person due to Brexit, I now have a job to try and buy it which although due to the remoaner complaining about the price due to the crash in the pound. I was lucky enough to have a job and go abroad to buy this! This is the sort who loves curry but will put their house up for sale as a non white moves in on the lane!

    Excellent, Not enough Rye

    needs more rye in the mash bill for my taste, could be exceptional

    Pikesville 6 yr: Will Convert Non-Rye Drinkers to Enthusiasts!

    After my 1st dram, I had to look twice at the ABV%. I know the estimated mash bill lists its rye content at no more than 60%, lower than most straight Rye Whiskeys. Nonetheless, at 110pf, and after its most pleasant aroma, you still find yourself preparing for a fair amount of forward/mid biting spice with a long burn finish. However, Pikesville 6yr, considered a Maryland style Rye (lower rye bill than Pennsylvania style), offers an equally subtle forward spice and mildly dry, comforting warm finish. Heaven Hill, has produced the most delicious, smoothest, complex flavored yet unassuming, and perfectly balanced Rye I have the pleasure to drink.

    A Funny Turn Of Events !!!

    Fantastic stuff this is !. I was just a single malt whisky man and old dark rum man and I sent for some samples of another American whiskey and got this stuff as an accident. Luckily enough Master Of Malt let me keep them as a good will gesture and I was totally gob smacked at the depth of flavour of this whiskey. It was probably a slick move on Master Of Malts (JOKING) behalf because I fell in love with this stuff instantly and ended up buying a couple of bottles. A funny turn of events that ACCIDENTALLY got me into this stuff !!! Mad World !!! 5 Stars Easily.
