Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
Upon pouring, the Crater Lake Rye Whiskey graces the glass with a rich, amber hue—subtle proof of its time spent in charred oak barrels. The visual appeal is complemented by long, slow-moving legs that reveal the whiskey's medium-to-full-bodied character.
Nose (Aroma):
The nose begins with a forward presence of spice; this is a rye whiskey through and through. The aroma profile incorporates classical notes of cinnamon and cloves, accented by a fragrant undertone of vanilla and toasted oak. As it breathes, hints of dried fruit, particularly apricot, and fresh herbs become discernable.
Palate:
With the first sip, the palate experiences a complexity of flavors that reveal the craftsmanship behind the spirit. The spiciness of the rye grain dominates initially but is artfully balanced by sweeter flavors—think caramel and a touch of honey. A nuance of orange peel introduces a slight citrus twist, while a background of toasted wood adds a layer of depth.
Finish:
The finish is smooth, yet invigorating, with a residual spiciness that lingers on the tongue. Warm notes of cinnamon and a trace of mint ensure a long, satisfying aftertaste that beckons for another sip.
