Thistle Finch Rye, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2014 ● Reviewer: Lew Bryson ● Category: Rye Whiskey
New distillery in Lancaster, Penn. “Locally sourced” grain, copper pot still, unaged. Rich new-make smell, warm, full grain, rye oil, and anise. Light spirit: sweet, more grain and a character like pizzelles; sweet crisp anise cookies. Easily enjoyed, with a finish of more sweet grain and anise. Interestingly schnapps-like, given the area's German roots.
