Redwood Empire Rocket Top 5 year old Bottled in Bond, 50%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2022 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Rye Whiskey
Buttery and soft on the nose, with a hint of pancakes and maple syrup, clove, and brown sugar. A smooth palate offers peanut brittle, French toast, vanilla ice cream, and orchard fruits, balanced against peppercorn spice and subtle oak. The finish is long and creamy, bringing out maple syrup sweetness, milk chocolate, and a light touch of red fruit, set against oak and earthiness. The smoothness and balance are noteworthy.
