Alley 6 Rye 750ml
Alley 6 Rye Whiskey is a true small-batch whiskey twice distilled indirect-fire, traditional copper alembic pot stills from a rye malt mash composed of 78% rye and 22% aromatic malted barley from Heidelberg Germany. Each batch is aged for a minimum of nine months in small, heavy charred, new American White Oak barrels.
This young, energetic spirit has a complex flavor paired with remarkable smoothness and character. It boasts flavors of honey and oak and imparts hints of vanilla, spice of rye, and a nice subtle caramel note on the palate.
Tasting Notes
Ah, here is where that rye spice comes in. It’s so island-ey on the nose, but less so on the palate. It brings more of a traditional rye fiery kick, but mellows a little on subsequent sips.
So interesting! Ryes often have a spicy, peppery nose to me, and this doesn’t. It’s more like a visit to a tropical island: Hints of sugar, vanilla, roasted fruit, almost chewy. Like pineapple upside down cake.
There is a little banana on the finish, though think less peel and more bananas foster. Alley 6 is like the roasted cooked fruit of rye.
