Bourbon/Rye #38: WhistlePig SiB Binny's "Country" 10 year

MGP -  10 Year - Rye- 95R5C - Sample - $90  - 58.4%


This is a Binny's store pick but I couldn't find much information on so I don't know if it is Alberta or MGP.  

Color - Caramel

Nose - Rye spice, vanilla, caraway, toffee

Taste - Toasted rye, vanilla, citrus, caramel, wet wood

Mouthfeel - Medium to Thick

Finish - Vanilla, rye spice, lemon, wet wood

Finish Length - Medium

Overall - 5/7 - I enjoyed this one.  The rye spice was at the perfect spot for my palate, which is probably heavier than standard, but not overwhelming.  It had tons of vanilla and caraway.  It had this wet wood taste to it but not at all musty.  I would buy a bottle and be happy with what I got.  

Rating system is price influenced as it is based on my shopping decisions when buying a bottle.
