Tasted this as Day 10 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2020. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, the ABV, and the distillery, followed by a reveal at 9PM. The mash bill for this whiskey is 95% rye, 5% malted rye. Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky.
