The Last Feather Rye shows a lot of wood, rye and some glue on the nose. Overall sweetish and spicy, with a slightly grainy component. Very dense and compact.
In the mouth, the Last Feather Rye shows a lot of wood, many tannins, subtle sweetness of tart oak and spicy rye.
The finish is intensely dry, almost a bit bitter. Some sweetness sticks to the palate. Some mint.
Comparison tasting with https://www.whiskeybase.com/whiskies/whiskey/109192/journeyman-distillery-not-a-king-whiskey The Not a king Rye with its classic Mashbill also seems much more to be expected than the Last Feather Rye, which is sweeter and more compact and somehow different than expected. Both have a lot of wood and are probably still very young and I would not classify either of them in the top class. The cask strength wheat whiskey from them is a different house number. But it's amazing how different the Rye are. I like the Not a king Rye a tad better, but the Journeyman isn't bad either. Especially in the mouth with the fine sweetness. All in all an interesting comparison, when can one make such a mashbill comparison of the same distillery? In absolute terms, the next Rye will probably be different.
