History,
A.D. Laws Bottled in Bond Secale Rye is made from 96% rye (50% of which is malted) and 4% malted barley, open-air fermented and then aged over 4 years before being bottled at the requisite 100 proof. The term “Secale Rye” is a direct reference to the Latin name for rye grain: “secale cereale.”
Tasting Notes,
Nose: This bonded rye was markedly unusual, with aromas of a sweet, freshly mown lawn just under delicate notes of cotton candy and light caramel. Breaking it with a ½ teaspoon of water released the grassiness, causing it to deepen, more like hay along with notes of ripe pears.
Palate: The mouthfeel was strong at the tip of the tongue, as well as the front of the gums, but not unpleasant and certainly not a burn.
Finish: The finish was lovely and long, beginning with toasted grain, tobacco and leather before evolving to espresso and very dark chocolate. The dark coffee lingered and faded to a pleasant nuttiness. Notably, there was very little sweetness to the finish, but instead a lovely cascading array of flavors, each a pure as the last.
