45th Parallel Distillery New Richmond Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: A whiff of apple cinnamon, with a trace toffee aroma.

Palate: Gentle spice fills and coats the mouth, with a pleasant warmth that lingers after swallowing. Notes of flambeed banana give way to a soft, slightly spear-minty coolness. An aftertaste of a very dark honey comes through, but without any overt sweetness.

Finish: Off-dry and simple without being one-note.
