Products You May Like

Again in 2020 we bought a primary take a look at Stoll & Wolfe’s Rosen Rye — as an unreleased white whiskey comprised of Pennsylvania-grown heritage rye of the rosen selection. Now that whiskey has spent two years within the barrel and is lastly obtainable, albeit solely as a 100-bottle ultra-limited launch that’s absolutely offered out by now.

We sourced a small pattern for evaluation. Ideas observe.

As with the white whiskey, there’s loads of uncooked warmth and pungency right here, pushed by the aggressive cereal character of the whiskey. It wants time in glass to simmer down a bit; at first blush it could hit the nostril as a bit inexperienced and aggressive. Notes of roasted nuts and ample herbs — simply hinted at within the white whiskey — are extra evident right here, however once more all of it takes a little bit of time to disclose itself. The palate is kind of attention-grabbing: grilled pineapple and citrus provide a right away fruitiness, with notes of vanilla and sesame perking up briefly order. Extremely fruit-forward for a whiskey of any age, particularly a 2 yr previous, that pineapple character, nearly candied, turns into a powerhouse on the end. Hints of candy tea give the conclusion a southern really feel.

As soon as once more, Stoll & Wolfe is doing one thing actually particular with its rye program. As this whiskey will get older and older, I can’t wait to see what transpires.

102 proof.
