This was favorite of the three Coppercraft whiskies . The nose was quite inviting and there should be no doubt you have a rye whiskey in your glass. the impression from that initial nosing that the first sip would be sweeter than it actually was, but when you consider a 95% rye mash bill, with the remaining ingredient being barley, as opposed to corn, the fact that it wasn’t should come as no surprise. That’s not a knock on the palate, but more of a nod to the nose.
