Reviewed September 2016Amber-hued and bright in the glass, this delivers big caramel and toffee, interwoven with drier leather, espresso, cigar wrapper and cocoa. It's best with a little dilution, which coaxes out rounded almond notes on this pleasing sipper. (KN)
Notes
Maxim called the Rhetoric 22-Year-Old a "top-shelf triumph," saying, "The mash bill for Rhetoric Whiskey is 86% corn, 8% barley and 6% rye. Beginning with hints of toasted grains, cherries and oak wood, Rhetoric 22-Year-Old tastes of toasted oak and dark chocolate with ripe banana and baking spices of clove and anise, while the finish is long and woody ending with dark chocolate notes. In other words, you'll want to sip this one slowly...." (JPS, 5/2016)
