291 M Wood Staves and Maple Syrup Barrel Finished, 63. 5%

Price: 110 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Ted Simmons Category: Rye Whiskey

A dark brown whiskey with orange peel, black tea, new leather, and green apple candy on the nose. It is sweet and pungent, with tropical fruit emerging with water. A syrupy palate brings apple tart, vanilla pound cake, and honey and granola, with water unlocking notes of chile-dusted mango and toasted marshmallow. The finish is long, with sweetened coffee and chocolate syrup. There is a lot to unpack here, but water helps.
