Roaming Man Tennessee 8th Edition Straight Rye Whiskey

Whiskey: Roaming Man Tennessee 8th Edition Straight Rye
A rye connoisseur. This whiskey is off the beaten path of traditional rye profiles and doesn’t have the sweet flavor consistency of a bourbon. The heat and the uniquely earthy flavor profile is a departure from the norm and maybe a miss for a newer whiskey drinker. For the well-traveled rye-lover, this may be the welcome change of pace in an underserved cask-strength rye market.

Sugarlands is known to most as a producer of moonshine (they even partner with the Discovery Channel’s “Moonshiners Legends). And yet, they also make their own aged whiskey, such as their Roaming Man Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey. It’s two years and two months old, bottled at a cask strength of 122.2 proof and aged in new, charred oak. The mashbill is 51 percent rye, 45 percent corn and 4 percent malted barley.
Roaming Man Tennessee 8th Edition Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Ethyl Alcohol | Soft & Buttery | Cinnamon Roll Vanilla Frosting.
Palate: The initial taste is very hot, yet creamy and buttery. The nose did not alert me to the heat and full-bodied flavor. The flavor profile is very much two dimensional, and that may be due to the lower barley content in the mash bill. The second wave is a distinctively Tennessee whiskey corn profile that is sweet and mellowing leading into the finish.
Finish: The finish on this whiskey is dry and lingering earthy oak with hints of corn. It stays in the back and sides of your tongue but as the wood fades yields to a red fruit that is pleasant.
