Pine Tavern Distillery Fenwick's New Salem Single Barrel (No. 9), 48%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2022 ● Reviewer: Ted Simmons ● Category: Rye Whiskey
Orchard fruits abound on the syrupy sweet nose: pears in syrup, ripe apples, honey, fruit cocktail, golden raisins, lemon iced tea, and sweet vanilla ice cream. The palate is likewise syrupy, showing coffee, chocolate, and dried apple rings, all with a balanced pepper spice. Decent length on the finish, which delivers cinnamon and mocha latte. Nicely constructed, with consistent rustic and fruity flavors.
