Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye Whisky Batch 1 65.1%

Sweet butterscotch jumps out right away, followed by peppermint, dark brown sugar and salted butter. This smells like dessert; theres an almost rum note in here thats really interesting. It becomes even sweeter and rummier with the addition of water.

Rich arrival, salted caramel, toasted and buttered rye bread, brown sugar, something slightly vegetal and green, then black pepper. The finish is long and warm. Theres more rye bread, toasted oak, cloves, some red apple skins, and brown sugar. The peppermint flavor appears like a depth charge on the tail end of the finish.
