Old Potrero 6 Year Old Straight Rye

Old Potrero is a bit of an iconic brand, it was a micro distillery opened out of the Anchor brewery in 1993! So, they were a bit ahead of the times.

Rich, spicy, fruity with loads of complexity on the nose. A dry spiciness comes through in the whisky. All the sweet dried fruit almost has you thinking brandy. Lots of caramel, dried fruit, oak, maple syrup, fennel, and intense sweet spices toward the finish which ride on waves of oak. The whisky has a good sense of umami to it, not in the salty savoury sense, but in the rich character that binds together all of its parts. The whisky develops great richness in the glass.
