Union Horse Distilling Reunion Straight Rye (Batch 2)

Made with 100% rye aged up to 5 years this starts off surprisingly fruit-forward with poached pear and zesty clove-pierced citrus though the wood is beginning to dominate. The palate fires up the rye spice underscored by cocoa turning hot with some adhesive notes and finishing with fresh cereal grain and bitter oak tannins. A wood lover’s whiskey.
