Michter's Straight Rye

This is not a formal tasting of Michter's Straight Rye Whiskey as I partook under less than, ahem, laboratory conditions. That is, I sampled this fine whiskey while sitting with a friend at a bar in DC's West End. But, I felt I had to convey my impressions of the drink. It is a dark, deeply coppery rye and has the expected spicy, sweet, lively notes on the nose. This experience grows as one tastes it, demonstrating a surprisingly smooth and fully round taste on the tongue. It is a long-lasting, satisfying rye; the furthest from rotgut one can get with rye whiskey. Definitely seek this one out!
