Tasting Notes
Catoctin Creek's Barrel Select Rye Whisky is a true delight for rye enthusiasts. Crafted with a 100% rye mash bill, this Virginia-born whisky rested in a barrel near the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, soaking up the essence of its surroundings. Upon opening the bottle, the aroma enchants with notes of freshly baked cookies, tantalizing lemon zest, a hint of mint, and a warm embrace of oak. The palate unleashes a delightful symphony of flavors, including luscious chocolate, crumbly fudge, and the nutty undertones of hazelnuts, all enveloped in a well-rounded blanket of spice and a touch of grassy freshness. As the flavors linger, the finish tantalizes with lingering notes of clove, cinnamon, and chocolate, with a whisper of lemon peel returning to round out this exceptional experience. This hearty 57.5% ABV beauty is sure to delight whether enjoyed neat or elevated in a classic Manhattan cocktail.
