Wheel Horse 4 year old Caribbean Rum Barrel Finished (2024 Release), 50.5%

This has a punchy nose of cherry cola, molasses, and caramel apple. On the palate, the influence of the rum barrel finish shows, with banana, cherry pie, and a little bit of funk mingling with the rye’s spicy cinnamon, maple, and apple flavor profile. There’s pepper, fennel, and a hint of mint interweaved with the sweeter flavors, giving the whiskey more depth. On the finish, the pepper lingers with charred oak and molasses.
