Catoctin Creek: Roundstone Rye 92 Proof Whiskey (100% Organic Rye Mashbill distilled in Virginia)

Nose: Grains. cloves. Black Licorice. Mineral. Maybe a hint of cherry or raspberry.

Taste: Starts fruity. Apple, Cherry, little pear. But then the rye shows up. Heavy amount of the rye spice. Baking spices, pepper, nutmeg. A little more burn than I would expect from a 92 proof.

Finish: Oily. Long burn. Really lingers around. Rye spice. Cinnamon.

Overall: There's not much better than the mailman delivering booze. I'd never heard of this Whiskey before as I generally don't drink a lot of ryes but this one is pretty easy drinking and fruity. Almost like a brandy. I really enjoyed the long oily finish. Will be an awesome addition to my bar.

Thanks Santa. Merry Christmas!
