Tasting Notes
The Oxford Artisan Distillery Rye Whisky - Purple Grain tantalizes the senses with its unique blend of aromas and flavors. On the nose, it beckons with the fragrance of fresh meadow herbs intertwined with juicy berries, dried prunes, and aromatic spices. As you take a sip, the nutty grains emerge, accompanied by the sticky sweetness of malt loaf and rich caramel drizzles. The finish is where the true character of rye shines, leaving a peppery warmth that lingers pleasantly, complemented by the buttery notes of brioche. This cask-strength expression is a masterful blend of heritage rye, wheat, and malted barley, aged first in American oak casks and then finished in purple moscatel casks, imparting a delightful dried fruit character that harmonizes perfectly with the rye spice.
