Cody Road Rye (Batch 5)

A 100% rye whiskey made from rye grown about 30 miles from Mississippi River Distilling. Strongly spicy and oily rye character reaching out of the glass and grabbing my nose; some surprising pastry and molasses notes hiding in there. The 40% mildness is disappointing at first but develops into a spicy minty mouth-filler with a cleanly sweet finish. On the sweet side would prefer it drier.
