The Globe
Proof and Wood 8 Year Old Bourbon and Rum Barrel Finished Rye Whiskey
Category: Cask-Finished Rye Whiskey
Date Tasted:
5/22/2024
Country: Poland
Alcohol: 49.5%
Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of toasted orange peel, cinnamon crusted caramel flambéed bananas, and candied pepper corns with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a warming, complex, medium-length finish conveying suggestions of candied and spiced tangerine, toasted rye bread with orange marmalade, black pepper corns in caramel, and toasted garden herbs. A tasty and spicy sipper that would truly excel in an Old Fashioned or Boulevardier and only further elevate the spicy orange essence of this Whiskey.

About
Cask-Finished Rye Whiskey
Rye Whisky must contain a minimum of 51% rye grain, be distilled at less than 80% ABV (160 proof) and be aged for a minimum of two years in new charred barrels. A small amount of straight Rye whiskey is bottled and marketed, but most of the industry production is blended into other whiskies to give them additional character and structure. Canadians frequently refer to their whisky as "Rye," though it is in fact made primarily from corn or wheat. A Cask-Finished Rye Whiskey will undergo additional maturation in one or more barrels, the previous contents of which contribute to the aromas and flavors of the final product. Examples include but are not limited to used Rum, Cognac, Port, Sherry, Madeira, Stout, and maple barrels.
