- Description: The finish starts sweet, with a nice mix of orange peel and honey but quickly turns a bit hot with rye spices. It feels a little off balance, erring on the hot and spicy side instead of mixing the sweet and spicy as my taste buds were anticipating.

## **POPS' NOTES**

---

****NOSE**: Distinctive Rye Note | Floral | Butterscotch | Mint

****TASTE:** Honey | Rye Spice | Orange Peel | Mint

****FINISH:** Spicy rye finish that bites the tip of your tongue mingled with orange peel that leads to a slow burn and huge surge in the back of your throat. (I love that surge!) It was very well balanced right up to the end where some bitter notes emerged.

****SHARE WITH:** I would share this with anyone who drinks whiskey and enjoys a good rye.

****WORTH THE PRICE:** An MSRP of $75.00 is a big number for a craft whiskey. But I have to say this is one of the best craft produced rye’s I’ve tried. So among the craft set, it’s worth the $75.00 price.

****BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST:** This one has limited release so if you’re into exploring rye whiskeys and have the cash pick up a bottle. All others should be fine grabbing a drink in a bar for a reasonable price.

****OVERALL:** The nose is lovely on this rye whiskey. Sharp, distinct rye notes with a blend of floral, butterscotch, and mint make me wish I could get a candle made out of this whiskey. The mouthfeel is silky, and up front, the flavors meld perfectly. It’s not as rich and complex as an older rye, but it’s got a lot of great things going on for it. The bitter notes that come out during the finish are the only flaws in what is otherwise a very well done rye whiskey. If you love rye whiskey and have the cash, I think you’ll enjoy spending some time getting to know this release.

### **A.D. LAWS BOTTLED IN BOND SECALE STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY BACKGROUND INFO**

****Laws Whiskey House Releases Batch B17 of their Award-winning A.D. Laws Bottled in Bond Secale Straight Rye Whiskey and 6th Anniversary Celebration**

Denver CO – June 21, 2017 — Laws Whiskey House (LWH) announced today that they have released Batch B17 of their award-winning A.D. Laws Bottled in Bond Secale Straight Rye Whiskey, which earlier this year was awarded World’s Best Rye for 2017 at the World Whiskies Awards by **Whiskey Magazine*. This expression meets the high standards for the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 and is coaxed from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% barley malt. Distilled, aged and bottled by LWH in Denver, this whiskey was aged over 4 years in new, full-sized, 53-gallon, char #3, American white oak barrels.

Laws Whiskey House focuses exclusively on traditional American-style whiskeys made from the four American mother grains; corn, wheat, rye and barley. Bottled in Bond (Bonded) whiskey is a cornerstone in the LWH lineup. Bonded whiskeys are bottled under U.S. government supervision and must be the production of a single season, single distillery, single DSP, aged in a federally-bonded warehouse for at least four years, and bottled at 100 proof. Last year, Laws Whiskey House was the first distillery in Colorado history to produce a Bottled in Bond whiskey and released the first Bottled in Bond expression in the rapidly-growing Four Grain Straight Bourbon category. The distillery currently offers four Bottled in Bond expressions complimented by several other non-bonded straight whiskeys.

Following 200 cases of Batch A17, availability of B17 is expected to be 300 9-liter cases, with distribution in CO, NY, NJ, DC, IL, MN, WI, WA, TX, AK and TN. MSRP of the 750 mL will be $75\. The next release of Bottled in Bond Secale Straight Rye Whiskey is not expected until November 2017.
