Rye Whiskey, Whiskey Reviews January 27, 2014 By Richard Thomas Rating: C Belgrove Rye Whiskey Although whiskey distilling came strangely late to Australia, the continent-country south of the equator has been making big strides since the legal obstacles were cleared away in the 1990s. Whereas most countries follow either the Scots-Irish model of relying heavily on malted barley or the North American mixed mashbill model, Australia does both… or at least it does now, thanks to Belgrove Distillery and the 100% rye whiskey it released in September 2013. The Rye In the glass, the whiskey has a good-bodied gold coloring. The nose is light and airy, with the traditional sweetly spicy scent of rye, with the spicy aspect leaning on a strong mint note. The flavor isn’t quite as sweet, having a dry and somewhat woody aspect to it. I would say the flavor reminded me of a chamomile and mint tea with a whiskey kick, but for that dry and oaky streak. The finish opens on a moderately bitter and tannic aftertaste, but from there winds down warmly and pleasantly. This is a decent rye, but my feeling is that the maturation isn’t just quite there yet. Perhaps the proportion of small barrel whiskey is too high, or the small barrel whiskey in question has been aged too long, and that is what is making the whiskey a little to dry for my taste. However, for a country where the only experience of native rye whiskey is embodied in Belgrove Distillery, this batch is a good start.
