Minor Case Rye Whiskey Sherry Cask Finished
Minor Case Rye Whiskey Sherry Cask Finished
NOSE: Ripe Red Fruit | Baking Spices | Green Apple | Banana
TASTE: Red Fruit | Baking Spices | Watered Down Vanilla | Oak
FINISH: The finish is long with a mouth-warming toasted oak profile with hints of sweet sherry and vanilla mixed with black pepper. As the finish fades, it becomes dry leaving all the hints of sherry sweetness behind.
SHARE WITH: An excellent choice to share with friends who enjoy exploring barrel finished whiskeys or refuse to believe that a two-year-old rye could be worthy of their time and attention. (For the latter, I suggest a blind tasting approach to mess with them a bit.)
Minor Case Straight Rye comes to us via Limestone Branch, and takes its name from Minor Case Beam - yes, relative of that famous whiskey-makin' Beam family. An interesting rye which has enjoyed a finishing period in Sherry casks before bottling, which imparts a balancing sweetness to the classically spicy spirit.
