Taste: Honey, Leather, Tobacco, and Bread
Body: Medium
Finish: A dry cinnamon burn that lingers followed by a subtle mint note.
Personality: Kelly Slater
Notes: Very sweet yet complex on the palatal side. The nose is fantastic. We were a bit disappointed in the lack of the classic rye finish but we attributed the taming of this rye to the age statement. Overall, the best offering from Whistle Pig.
