Eifel Whiskey - Peated Rye Whisky 2021 Edition
Eifel Peated Rye Whisky 2021 Edition is a German Rye Whisky matured in first fill oak barrels that held heavily peated whisky before. Traditional German malt & grain distillation. No color added. No chill-filtration.
Nose: Crunchy, savory sourdough bread crusts. Strong single malt influence for just 10% of the mashbill. A soft rye profile, toned-down spice with lemon herb sauce. Subtle with plenty of malt throughout.
Palate: Buttery, age leaves freshly picked. Rosemary oil and fresh-pressed olive oil. Black pepper grows on the top of the tongue while the rye and malt fall heavily under the tongue. Mouthfeel is heavy, way beyond 92º, front tongue astringency and heat that coats to the back with flavor. Smoky char in the corners of my mouth.
Finish: Softly grips my whole tongue on a medium-length finish, fading slowly into lemon marmalade on burnt toast.
