Distillery 291 Single Barrel Colorado Rye Finished with Aspen Staves (Barrel #231)

Heady tropical aromas swirl out of the glass: orange peel guava hibiscus sandalwood cedar and cinnamon. Fruit—papaya nectarine blueberry citrus and grape—shows up in force on the palate as well tempered by oak and milk chocolate pistachios and dried flowers. The finish is long and gently spiced with soft oak cedar and cocoa flavors. Distillery 291 bottles all its rye as single-barrel batches of about 55-60 bottles each.
