Kaiyo Wood Library Series The Rye 10 year old Rye Barrel Finish, 46%

Price: 80 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Japanese Whisky

Aromas of gingerbread, bananas Foster, caramel, red berries, milk chocolate, and a scattering of rye spices on the nose. The palate offers caramel, malt, mint, dill, and rye spices, evolving into whole-grain crackers, peppercorn, chocolate, toffee, and malt. While not as rye-forward as a rye whiskey, the cask finish delivered sufficient impact to make this a worthy substitute in your favorite rye-based cocktail.
