Old Potrero Hotaling's Single Malt Rye 16 year old, 50%

Price: 165 Issue: Spring 2017 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Rye Whiskey

Soft and subtle aromas, but bolder on the palate. A base of creamy caramel is peppered with cinnamon heat, vanilla, brittle mint, and dried fruit. Firm oak grip on the finish balances the sweetness. Very enjoyable.
