Kooper Household‘s newest rye bears fairly a pedigree, having been aged for “8 lengthy years” in three completely different places over a 900 mile space stretching from Tennessee (the place it was distilled) to Texas (the place it was bottled). A very completely different distillate from the sooner 100% Rye launch from 2016, this can be a entire different animal to contemplate. Which we are going to do, presently.
Gently grassy and woodsy on the nostril, there’s no mistaking that is rye, the whiskey leaning closely on savory, nearly peppery notes. It’s nearly closed off and restrained to the purpose the place one would possibly anticipate from such an assault that the palate can be a muted bust — however that’s gloriously not the case. Impressively candy and full of life on the tongue, the rye shortly showcases a a lot brighter profile, beginning with toffee and shifting to chocolate and citrusy orange notes. The grassiness evident on the nostril is current right here, however comparably delicate, waves of grain and pepper wafting their method towards the sweeter core — all the time complementing, by no means detracting from the expertise.
100 proof.
