  • Honeysuckle is strong in the initial taste with a heavy rye presence on the mid-palate. The lingering finish is full of tobacco and cardamom.

  • The Whiskey Wash
  • By Natalie Padilla
  • It’s a great entertaining whiskey – a good batch to slowly sip on by the fire and an interesting conversation starter, but it won’t steal the show. A fine juxtaposition of sugar and spice.

  • Whisky Advocate
  • By Davin de Kergommeaux
  • Layer on layer of soft vanilla, old lumber, cinnamon, fresh orange peels, baking spice, dark fruits, and medicinal hints of resin. Peppery hot and oakily sweet. A slight dustiness and a big juicy butterscotch kiss

  • This isn’t my favorite WhistlePig release, but I like what the company is doing to push the boundaries of rye and show what increasingly well-aged stocks can do. Rye fans should at least give it a whirl.

  • If you’ve ever looked at a rye, put it down and thought “man, I wish this was spicier”, then look no further. This is the rye you need.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Spicy clove, gingerbread, fresh bread, honey and berry. Sweet, spicy, fruity rye.

  • Taste:

    Spicy on the palate. So spicy! Whew. Pepper, clove, cinnamon, citrus. This is powerful and rye forward and a total spice bomb.

  • Finish:

    Long finish. Once again, pure rye, oak and pepper.

  • Overall:

    If you’ve ever looked at a rye, put it down and thought “man, I wish this was spicier”, then look no further. This is the rye you need.
