History,
Since his retirement from the job of Master Distiller at Four Roses Distillery after 49 years, Jim has certainly not slowed down. From doing contract distilling, to relaunching long-forgotten brands, to consulting with new projects that earned him the title of ‘Liquid Advisor’ with Blue Run. All of this well-earned merit is leading up to being a partner in his own distillery, the J.W. Rutledge Distillery.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: At a medium approach, the whiskey presents light cinnamon spice and a honeysuckle sweetness. A second nosing reveals the impression of marzipan and praline.
Palate: : The first sip offers a mild astringency indicative of a rye, but it also coats and engages the whole palate. The second sip is very reminiscent of almond, praline, and cashew, with a noticeable zip of cinnamon. Then we have a long , slightly sweet finish.
