Masterson’s 10-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey NV | 750 ml.

WE94 Wine Enthusiast 9/1/2012

"This 10-year-old straight rye whiskey would make a top-notch Sazerac. Despite its rich, luxe aroma, this is light and smooth on the palate. Look for notes of sweet, creamy caramel and dried fruit enlivened by a signature rye bite and a sweet, surprisingly delicate finish with just a sprinkling of ginger and cinnamon. The sepia photo on the label features “gambler, buffalo hunter, Army scout, gunfighter and newspaperman” William “Bat” Masterson." (94 pts.)

WE94 Wine Enthusiast 7/1/2016

"The complex aroma suggests rich caramel, maple and butterscotch. The same flavors are echoed on the palate, showing a flash of sweetness, drying alcohol heat and a spicy finish. Water tames this 100% rye to a maple-almond flavor profile, finishing with cocoa and plenty of mouthwatering spice." (94 pts.)

WHA95 Whisky Advocate Spring, 2017

"This 100% rye-grain whisky is distilled in Alberta, then shipped to Sonoma, California for final touches. Finished in new American oak, batch PSA3 is one of the tastiest U.S. bottlings of Canadian rye ever. Soft caramels cushion ethereal honeysuckle, blackened firewood, and lusty rye spices on a framework of pulling oak tannins. Hugely complex, with new rewards in every sip." (95 pts.)
