    Cedar Ridge Malted Rye. Unlike most rye whiskeys, Cedar Ridge uses malted rye in it’s mash bill. To malt, the rye grains are soaked in water to germinate, then given a blast of hot air. Malting the rye generates an enzyme that is naturally helpful in the mashing process and adds weight and complex flavors of toast and biscuit to the whiskey.

    The Nose Cedar Ridge Malted Rye

    However. The nose is so alluring and complex offering scents of baked apples, honey, roasted almonds, and caramel with accents of clove, allspice, and nutmeg. The palate in in full agreement with the nose delivering a lush fruit and caramel core with waves of brown spice, oak, and hints of leather, and black pepper. Medium to full-bodied with a rich fruit core while being vibrant with a bright dose of acidity providing perfect balance.” – BevX, 2017

    Furthermore, light and spicy. Dill pickles and baking spices are the most prominent notes. After some time in the glass, notes of cinnamon and baked apples began to appear.

    Palate

    The first sip is punchy. Heat concentrates in the back palate. There is a burst of clove and baking spices. The second sip concentrates in the mid-palate. Spice, pepper, vanilla, and a faint pickle note are present. The third sip slightly dries the mouth. The intensity of heat begins to rise in the mid palate. Oak, rye spice, and faint hints of cinnamon are present.
    Finish

    The finish is somewhat spicy and medium to long. The flavors concentrate in the mid and back palate with some heat eventually settling in the chest. Baking spices, dill pickle, faint vanilla and cinnamon are present.
    In closing

    The Cedar Ridge Malted Rye is a unique craft offering. This whiskey seems to drink a little higher than 86 proof. There are traditional rye whiskey notes present, however, this spirit would benefit from some additional time in the barrel.
