Rye Whiskey With a Kick, Emerald Giant Review

We keep the Redwood Empire reviews rolling with Emerald Giant Rye Whiskey.  Excited to dive into a straight rye with a little wheat built into a blend, first time I believe I tried anything like this mashbill! 

Just the facts: Emerald Giant

Proof: 116.4 

Age: Undisclosed 

Mash bill: 94% Rye, 5% Malted Barely, 1% Wheat 

Style: Rye Whiskey 

Jake’s tasting notes: Emerald Giant 

Nose:  a hint of pine and citrus first meets your nose.  As you continue to smell through the whiskey waves of caramel follow. 

Palate: This rye brings the spice! Right off the first sip I get nutmeg, cinnamon, and white pepper.  The second sip brings more of the spice but the caramel and citrus start to shine. 

Finish: Short and Spicy! 

Closing Thoughts:

Emerald Giant rye whiskey is superb, it sits right in my wheel house.  If you enjoy a spicy rye with faves of flavor as undertones this would be a great pick up.
