Journeyman 5 Year Rye (SMWS RW7.1 "Love at First Sip")

 

Among American whiskies, rye is my favorite variety. I like the spiciness, the mint-and-bubblegum flavors, the overall flavor structure... it's just a great grain that makes a robust whisky. 

This independently bottled rye hails from Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, Michigan, just two miles from the Indiana border. It's bottled at 5 years old, and at 57.6% ABV.
