15 Stars 6 year old First West Blend of Straights (Batch 2-SSDD), 52.5%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2024 ● Reviewer: Shane English ● Category: Rye Whiskey
15 Stars blends 6, 7, and 9 year old ryes to create this floral and well-spiced pour. At first the nose is all spice rack, with cinnamon, dried herbs, and fresh parsley overwhelming sweeter notes. With time, green apple and maple syrup rise through the spice, creating an inviting blend of aromas. While spice is still present on the palate, honey-nut cereal sweetness and bread pudding rise to the front, supported by cinnamon, chai, and autumnal spices.
