Sonoma County Cask Strength Rye

100% rye unmalted and malted direct-fire pot stilled “old wood finished”: a detailed label but no age statement or “straight.” Peppery minty nose with a fleeting hint of coal smoke lots of heat. Fierce rye flavor hot and sweet and then a fantastic finish that curls and flexes: sweet oily hot pepper and small barrel oak. The rest of it’s okay but that finish is a marvelous ride.
