Blue Note Honey Rye Cask Volume III

About the product: Blue Note Honey Rye Cask is where bold rye spice and natural sweetness find perfect harmony. We begin by finishing our whiskey in American Oak barrels that have been seasoned with wildflower barrel-aged honey, creating a unique fusion of flavor and craftsmanship. Once infused with rich honey character, the casks welcome the rye back for an encore. The result is a distinctive whiskey layered with notes of golden honey, baking spice, toasted oak, and subtle caramel sweetness. Blue Note’s signature rye character shines through, delivering a balanced pour that is both vibrant and smooth. Every sip strikes the perfect note between spice and sweetness—finished with soul.   Tasting Notes: The nose is rich and full, with dense red fruit and citrus giving way to darker berries, thick caramel, seasoned oak, and a deep, almost mead-like richness. The palate is rounded, saturated, and structured, opening with ripe berries before moving into boysenberry jam, grilled peach, and fried biscuits with apple butter. While this feels deeper and a bit more rye-forward than previous batches, it still carries floral honey through the middle alongside vanilla, black pepper, and a steady backbone of mature oak. The finish is long and composed, with honey, citrus, and juicy fruit slowly giving way to warming spice, vanilla, and lingering seasoned oak.
