A.D. Laws Secale Single Barrel Cask Strength Straight Rye (Barrel #29)

Mashbill of 95% rye 5% malt; both Colorado-sourced. Aged 3 years in full-size barrels. Same grass and spice in the nose as the Straight Rye but a sweet almost sherry-like note as well. Flavors are similar—rye grain bitter oil alcohol heat—but there’s an added hit of dry cocoa more heat and a better non-sticky finish with a grudging hint of sweetness at the end. Dialed up overall.
