Savage and Cooke Grenache Barrel Finished, 50%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2023 ● Reviewer: Julia Higgins ● Category: Rye Whiskey
Baking spice and bread by the dozen on the nose: there’s cinnamon babka, cinnamon-raisin bagel, chai latte, applesauce, and freshly baked fruit and nut loaves. Big Red gum kicks off the palate, which opens up to milk chocolate-covered chiles, red pepper jelly, raisins, and berry fruit. The finish melds more sweetness with spice, bringing to mind orange-cranberry muffin, nutmeg, and cinnamon powder.
