Tattersall Distilling Port Wine Barreled Straight Rye Whiskey Review
Arriving in Oct. 2021, this cask "finished" release spends the final two years of maturation in port barrels. Those vessels have had a profound influence on the final spirit, noticeable from the get-go via its vibrant red reflections. The aromas and flavors land with punchy gusto, delivering a complex and nuanced experience. Pronounced earthy and vegetal notes mean it will win over just as many Scotch drinkers as those who normally opt for rye or bourbon.
