The Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey is available to buy in Norway at NOK 1200 (14886901).

Nose: Mild, offering a balance of corn sweetness with rye bread and a touch of pepperiness. With time peppery popcorn.

Taste: Full-bodied, with a strong peppery and spicy profile, complemented by a subtle perfumey note.

Finish: Medium to long, with caramel emerging more prominently, yet maintaining its peppery richness.

Comment: A nice balance of sweetness and heat.

Score 87/100
