Five & 20 Spirits Deep Water Rye Review
This 7-year-old rye oozes decadent, oaky sweetness on the nose. Upon sipping, it begins to express notes of baking spice, black plums, and fresh herbs. All in all, this expression is undoubtedly well-balanced, but it’s debatable as to whether its nuance warrants the $70 price tag.
