This four year old Empire Rye from Albany Distilling is finished in a single French oak barrique that previously held cabernet sauvignon, adding an extra depth of flavor to the herbaceous and aromatic whiskey. Up front, there is a heavy toastiness that you often find with rechar barrels; this develops on the palate and the wine influence shows with stewed brambles, blackcurrant and tannin. More classic rye flavors of spearmint, black licorice and baking spices couple with some unique flavors of charred lemon and herbs that build into a spicy yet satisfying finish.
