Michters Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey 700mL @ 42.4% abv

Tasting Notes Brazen gold. Opening fragrance is peppery and consistent with style with beautiful whiffs of dull rye bread; Further air contact draws out wax, dried apple, cinnamon and vanilla. Third pass discovers recommendations of natural tea - think peppermint and chamomile. Extraordinary many-sided quality. A fairly empty passage leads into a great, peppery rye assault with ryvita scone, dried apple and peppermint tea flavors conveyed by energetic flavors. Indications of vanilla and toffee apple in the drying blur. Strong, course reading styled rye.
