The nose is greeted with the scent of sweet honey with a supporting Whiskey note that includes sweet grains, vanilla, and caramel.
Flavor
The palate delivers a full-throttle honey sensation with flanking notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and subtle tropical fruit notes.
Intensity & Texture
Medium-bodied and quite sweet.
Cool Factor
Flavored Whiskies are very hot right now and one of the best-performing flavors has been honey.
Value Grade
With a price tag in the mid $30s this Honey Rye has a lot of stiff competition in the marketplace with other well-established honey flavored Whiskies.
Analysis
The Old Tahoe Honey Rye utilizes their Straight Rye Whiskey as a base. It is extremely soft and sweet and will certainly appeal to those with a sweet tooth and those who find a pure Whiskey to be too much to handle.
How to Enjoy
This Honey Rye can be served over ice or perhaps its best use is in tea to make a quick and tasty hot toddy as the Whiskey and honey are already married.
