StauningBastardDanishRyeWhisky(700ml)

Sans This three year old rye sees a six month finishing in x-mezcal casks. Initially shy, the nose has an almost floral-grassy quality, developing with cocoa and a vague fruitiness. At first sip, the malted rye and barley provide a mouthfeel and taste that suggests a single malt. The character of the grain gains momentum as buttered dark rye bread with a spiciness typical of the genre. Pickled ginger, wasabi heat and suggestions of dried herbs and wood smoke complete the finish. Almost as delicious as it is difficult to classify. 46.3% Alc./Vol.
