Vital Stats: Revolution Rye is a one-year-old whiskey bottled at 96 proof and prices over $50. As mentioned above, the mash bill is 100 percent rye, with three different types of rye used.
Appearance: Revolution Rye appears honey-brown in the glass with weak legs. For a one-year-old whiskey, the small format barrels added a surprising amount of color to the whiskey.
Nose: Out of a Glencairn glass, the nose has very strong hay and cereal grain notes. Underneath the almost overpowering grassy notes, I detect the faint cocoa notes that the toasted rye allegedly adds. The overall impression left on me is that of wet cardboard.
Palate: On the front, the cereal grain notes carry over from the nose. As the flavor unfolds, the cocoa notes make a brief appearance but are pretty quickly overpowered by bitter grassy notes. The finish is grassy, dry, bitter, and unfortunately lingering.
