First there was The Musician. Now there’s The Artist, Nonetheless Austin’s rye that follows up its straight bourbon. Like Nonetheless’s different bottlings, that is constructed from 100% Texas grains, although there’s no breakdown of the mashbill for this whiskey. Aged no less than 2 years, let’s delve into the expertise of The Artist.
Shocker from the beginning: This comes throughout as rather more mature and fascinating than a 2 yr previous rye. The nostril has a depth and complexity that feels nearer to a bourbon than your typical rye. It’s bought loads of grassy and peppery qualities, however they’re filtered by way of a stunning degree of fruit, some baking spice, and a modest layer of wooden.
The palate’s a delight. Large notes of cherry and raspberry are one thing of a shock right here, the whiskey exhibiting ample notes of almond and chai spices to enhance the fruity character. Flippantly peppery as any rye needs to be, however effectively tempered, it threads the needle between candy and spicy nearly completely, showcasing every little thing you need in a cocktail rye — loads of grassy herbaceousness, but additionally an exuberant drinkability even served neat.
Regardless of the worth tag, I’d use this apart iconic rye favourite Rittenhouse any day.
