The Oxford Artisan Distillery Rye Whisky - Batch 4
The Oxford Artisan Distillery
Tasting Notes
The Oxford Artisan Distillery's Rye Whisky, Batch 4, aptly named "The Graduate," is a sophisticated and complex spirit that pays homage to the rich heritage of rye grains. Upon nosing, it unveils a delightful bouquet of floral notes, reminiscent of citrus blossoms and lavender, accompanied by a delectable medley of baked treats – ginger snaps, banana bread, and chocolate chip cookies. The palate is an indulgent journey, where vanilla cheesecake, digestive biscuits, liquorice, black pepper, and clove intertwine harmoniously, with a hint of warm oak adding depth. As the whisky lingers, the finish subtly embraces cocoa notes, while revisiting the tantalizing hints of banana, ensuring a memorable and gratifying experience. Crafted with heritage rye grains, wheat, oats, and even thistles, and aged in American oak casks with varying sizes and toast profiles, this whisky is a testament to the artisanal prowess of The Oxford Artisan Distillery, bottled at an impressive 51.3% ABV.
