The Beer Barrel Rye presents bitter notes of leather and hops on the nose, alongside vanilla and occasional fruity undertones. Its taste is complex, revealing nutmeg and spicy rye alongside hints of honey and almond. It finishes with a long, slightly dry finish featuring a touch of rye spiciness, chocolate, and cinnamon. To fully appreciate the character of this experimental rye whiskey, it's best enjoyed neat, but it also lends itself well to use in cocktails.
