Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye 750 ml

Description:

Emerald Giant is a 3+-year-old 90-proof rye whiskey with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malt barley.

Colour... Amber.

Nose .. The nose hits with the classic rye notes but a refreshing apple crisp note. Subtle notes of sweet brown sugar also come through on the nose.

Palate... The front of the palate is coated with a unique rye spice which is quickly replaced with a creamy mouthfeel and a crisp citrus note. On the third sip came notes of delicious rye spice and honey, and cinnamon.

Finish... The finish was a crisp apple note that hit the top of the mouth and the edge of the palate. It was on the shorter side but evolved as you sipped.

In Closing... Let this one sit in the glass for a few minutes. You will be surprised by the number of flavours that come out. This will make a great cocktail rye whiskey, but it can stand by itself.
