Pintail Indiana Rye 6 Year Old Oloroso Octave (70cl, 47.5%)

Pintail Indiana Rye is a 6 year old rye whiskey from Indiana, bottled by The Whisky Cellar at 47.5% in a 70cl bottle. It is Pintail's first venture into American whiskey, made from a mash bill of more than 90% rye. The spirit spent five and a half years in virgin American oak, then a further 14 months in two fresh Oloroso sherry octaves. This is a limited edition of 180 bottles, with natural colour and no chill filtration. The nose offers cooked apples, chocolate raisins, clove and mint leaf. On the palate come amaretto cherries, apple crumble, grapefruit, vanilla and toasted oak. The finish is creamy, with sweet cinnamon and a hint of spearmint.
