Old Bones 10 year old Reserve (Batch 1), 55%

Poppyseed cake, fennel, and lemon meringue pie pop from the glass, backed by spearmint candies and lemon peel. The palate is similarly bright and citrusy, with cinnamon sugar, vanilla-frosted pound cake, and honeyed sweetness. The sip is light, with pleasant heat and spice. The finish lasts quite long, with the wood flavors growing more pronounced as the lemon and mint fade. Straightforward and solid for fans of fruity rye whiskeys.
