2005 Original Rye-Whisky

Waldviertler Whisky J. H.'s 2005 Original Rye-Whisky is an Austrian rye expression that showcases a distinctive balance between grain character and oak influence. Crafted from 60% rye and 40% barley, this whisky presents a coherent and well-structured profile that marries traditional rye spiciness with subtle wood-derived sweetness.

The nose reveals unmistakable rye aromatics with pronounced spicy notes, paired with pronounced honey and wood-derived sweetness. On the palate, these characteristics continue in a fairly balanced manner, with significant oak presence adding depth and complexity. A touch of water helps soften the spirit's intensity, revealing its true character and integrated flavour layers.
