Five & 20 (SB)2RW, 45%
Price: $50 ● Issue: Fall 2015 ● Reviewer: Lew Bryson
The “(SB)2RW” stands for “small batch small barrel rye whiskey.” Smells like it: small barrel, fresh-cut oak smell, clove cigarettes, and a fair amount of heat. A bit thin on the tongue, with a medicinal bite of rye grass, warming heat, and some sweetness, and the medicinal part expands into the finish.
