What I'm drinking tonight

WhistlePig Rye (Bottled by WhistlePig Farm at 50% ABV, tasted 7/2010): This is a rarity...a 10-year-old, 100% rye whiskey. The nose is freshly toasted rye bread, along with honey, oak, cinnamon, and vanilla notes. The taste is spicy rye and sweet maple syrup at first, with honey notes that develop as the rye fades. The finish has a hint of almonds, along with lingering rye and a hint of maple.
