FEW Bottled-In-Bond Rye Whiskey Review
The nose on this bottled-in-bond release is soft, sweet, and reminiscent of a wheated bourbon. However, as it opens, it begins to express quintessential rye notes of ripe black cherries and peppercorns. The palate presents a similar bouquet, making this a balanced, yet slightly sweet expression overall. While $55 may seem high for a bar cart spirit, this rye shows equal promise as a cocktail component and standalone sipper.
