“It’s impossible not to be impressed by The Oxford Artisan Distillery’s first rye whisky. It’s warming, bready and spicy on the nose with hints of coconut, anise and toasted marshmallow, while the palate delivers incredible depth with a rich fruitiness that moves into buttery, toasted rye bread slathered with melty, chocolatey Nutella. I’m amazed by how much flavour and complexity has been packed into this young whisky. Yet it still retains an important balance between spirit and cask that allows the beautiful heritage rye character to shine through.”
