Fielden Harvest 2019 Rye Whisky is an English rye whisky made from heritage grains harvested in 2019. It uses a mash bill of 73% rye, wheat and barley, with some malted grains, and is double distilled in pot and column stills. The spirit matured in a combination of American oak, sauternes and ramandolo casks before being bottled at 50% ABV.
The aroma is subtly restrained, leading into a sweet palate featuring icing sugar, caraway, and ripe orchard fruits. A smooth finish reveals lingering spice.
Christmas tree forests in December before some fresh paint, saffron eggnog, candied ginger, and rye bread. With water, the spiciness calms, and notes of wood polish and orange peel emerge.
