Laws Whiskey House 7 year old Bottled In Bond San Luis Valley (Batch 3), 50%

Price: 80 Issue: Winter 2022 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Rye Whiskey

Brown sugar, toasted nuts, cinnamon stick, glazed donut, and vanilla bean greet the nose, making for an inviting entryway. The palate delivers more mouthwatering flavors, though they’re darker here—think dark chocolate, black coffee, toasted oak, and cardamom. While it has notable cinnamon spice, it’s never overpowering. Somewhat surprisingly there’s a bright pop of raspberry fruit on the finish, and it’s accented by flourless chocolate cake that lingers on for quite a while.
