Senator Rye 6yr Barrel Proof

This 6-year-old barrel strength Rye whiskey is sourced from MGP distillery in Indiana and bottled by Proof and Wood. This big, bold, and spicy rye hits hard and warms the soul at a stunning 116 proof.

Sweet bakery notes jump off the nose globs of vanilla, gooey chocolate brownies, wet walnuts, and almond cream. The whiskey further develops with aromas of incense oil, lemon curd, and new leather. On the palate there is an increased spiciness that really pops, supported by maple syrup and mint leaf. The finish is nutty with excellent length, showcasing maturity beyond the age statement. The bold flavor and big proof here benefit from a splash of water to bring a mosaic of flavors into better focus.

Tasting Notes

The rye and barley make for a very earthy combination. The rye is coming off as a little bit sour at first, with some interesting sweetness. I can’t totally decide if I like this or not. The finish is very long, turning from earthy to more of a mushroom dryness and umami flavor. The mouthfeel is dry throughout.

There are some nice complexities, as it opens up, it smells a lot more sweet like a warm cinnamon roll.

Delicate sweetness that was enjoyable.
