Old Maysville Club Rye Whiskey 1

Gold with a copper wash.Toasted pumpernickel bread, with a whiff of mustiness akin to an old grain bin, and a fruity sweet note.A current of rye spiciness, restrained by a wallop of toasty grain, and a little nibble of dried apricot coming up at the end.Thick and oily.A touch spicy, but overall it is a gentle and lasting experience.In the glass a swish puts a thick, sticky coating on the inside of the glass; one that drops legs so reluctantly and slowly, and with such heavy drops, that it is described more of a crown than legs.

The main thing about Old Maysville Club is that it is both old fashioned and novel at the same time.
