Porter's Small Batch Straight Rye, 45%

Price: 40 Issue: Summer 2020 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Rye Whiskey

A tropical note of lime on the nose, as well as licorice and ginger root, offers youthful but balanced oak. The mouthfeel is creamy, with grapefruit and orange peel on the front palate melding into vanilla cream and underlying flavors of spice and pepper. The finish brings more citrus and creamy vanilla, along with cinnamon and drying oak. It seems young, but the profile is fresh and offers interesting flavors.
