Dark Horse Reunion Rye Barrel Strength

A rare barrel strength 100% rye release from a craft distiller. (Dark Horse Lenexa Kan.) No age statement on this other than “less than four years.” Young wood leads things off with pencil graphite and sawdust. Once you get past the sharp wood there’s lush maple brown sugar cinnamon and rye spice. At 113 proof it’s still soft supple and lush but slightly tannic. The finish is spicy but not overly hot or dry. Great distilling hampered by small barrels but still something special.
