Rogue – Oregon Rye Whiskey (75cl)

This is a rye whiskey from Rogue in Oregon, in a 75cl bottle. It is made with malted rye, which is uncommon among rye whiskeys. The malting softens the spice usually found in rye and gives a more approachable whiskey that builds in flavour. The mash bill is 52% rye and 48% barley, and the barley further rounds out the taste and mouthfeel. Expect complex nuttiness softened by light caramel and a hint of citrus, leading to cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper.
