Redemption Rye (Batch 2)

The back label of this whiskey describes it as “feisty” and feisty it is! Brandishing 95% rye (another Canadian flavoring whisky that was diverted?) bottled at 46% and at a relatively young age (around two years old) this whiskey lets you know you are alive. It’s very spicy with crisp evergreen warming cinnamon clove rooty licorice dark chocolate and suggestions of gin botanicals. Spicy vibrant finish. I’m having fun drinking this au naturel (the whiskey that is) but this would also zing in a cocktail the same way smoky Islay whiskies make their presence known in a blended scotch. Value Pick.
