A spicy rye expression with some really wild flavours but quite enjoyable once it relaxes in the glass a little. 83/100
Kyrö 4 Year Old Batch 1
Oxford Rye Whisky Batch 5 Red Red Rye
Another rich and cereal led expression as I’ve come to expect from TOAD’s Rye expressions. This is up there with the best of them (possibly Batch 1). The cask combination delivers ginger beer and jammy black fruits and of course that superb colour. I’m still not convinced about the pricing of this expression though there are certainly no complaints about what is inside the bottle. 85/100
Oxford Rye Whisky Batch 4 The Graduate
Another solid Rye expression from TOAD, perhaps more of the Rye spice to the fore here – this didn’t feel as cask-complex as previous expressions and more raw spirit nature shines because of it. 84/100
Wilderness Trail Cask Strength Rye
Incredibly drinkable as presented, not too spicy but full of woody herbal notes and sweet toffee, possibly the best Rye whiskey I have ever tasted! 88/100
Oxford Rye Whisky Batch 3
A much sweeter expression than the previous batches, highlights the more herbal, floral and spiced nature of the Rye grains used. A touch minty in places but really the Rye spice is highlighted in the finish.
Oxford Rye Whisky Batch 2
Quite fresh and minty, there is a definite red and black fruit nature contributed by the Port casks, this diminishes slightly the cereal nature I discovered in Batch 1 but reveals much more sweet fruit and butterscotch.
Bulleit Rye
A spiced and sweet Rye whiskey with plenty of nice fruity flavours going on, I kept finding cola, cherry cola and cherry lips sweeties in this one. 83/100
Tennessee Rye Whisky 4 Year Old Batch 3
Quite light on the nose with a little more punch and plenty of spices on the palate, overall quite pleasant. 80/100
Whistlepig 10 Years Old Straight Rye (50%, OB, 2020)
A heady spiced and sweet rye with some lovely butterscotch undertones. 84/100
Ezra Brooks Straight Rye Whiskey
Approachable rye whisky, touches of spice and earth from the Rye grains but plenty of sweet vanilla and oak wood influence too, quite enjoyable. 84/100
