Distilled by an undisclosed producer and bottled by Uncle Nearest, this 60.5%-ABV rye is a single-barrel release from the brand and marks its first as such. Let's dive in!

Bold cinnamon, baking spice, clove, anise, etc. on the nose. Really a rye spice and baking spice bonanza here.
Sweet and rich on the palate, spearmint, apple, malty rising bread and a touch of cinnamon persists. A youthful must is present and hard to ignore, although it’s diminished with the higher proof compared to other batches of rye I’ve noticed the note in.
Medium finish. The youthful oak, baking spice and honey are dominant.
This rye is totally pleasant and a great stepping stone for Uncle Nearest as it continues to build out its whiskey portfolio.
