Lock Stock & Barrel - 16 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey
Lock Stock & Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is double distilled from a rare mash bill of 100 percent rye grain. A “robust cut” is selected by master distillers, then the unfiltered spirit is aged in new charred American Oak barrels in cold weather. Lock Stock & Barrel 16-year is a tightly woven fabric of aromatics, with notes that suggest roasted acorns, sour grass, wild cherries, stewed blackberry, dried pear and sassafras.
The nose weaves between rye spice and black pepper, and brown sugar and vanilla. Dry oak and pine - both wood and needles - enter on the palate, along with a hefty dose of spice, medicinal notes, and leather.
There's an underlying rich sweetness too, as well as baking spices such as cloves and nutmeg to match the rye spice.
The finish bursts open, briefly hot but very long lasting, with molasses, mint, licorice, oak, more medicinal notes, and pepper. Open it up with some water, and the palate and finish showcase an even heartier layer of licorice, medicinal and minty notes
