Michter’s 10 year old Single Barrel Rye (Barrel #17A34)

On the nose a tapestry of candied fruit dark caramel and molasses. Then it’s herbs ocean air oak fruit roasted peanuts pecan pie and pie crust in the oven. Nuanced vanilla appears but prominent black licorice leather burnt pumpkin bread and tobacco dominate toward the end. A decently long finish gives a strong hint of bread pudding. This is definitely not your typical rye but it sure is tasty.
