mopgcw Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Anyone drinking the Fog's End Monterey Rye? 90 proof, a bit sweet, but nice rye opening with vanilla. $35 so not too bad a price, but in the end a little sweet for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread from several years ago that talked about what I would guess was a white dog version of this product and some experimentation with home aging. Seems the rye is made in part with sugar rather than grain which might explain some of the sweetness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtisc84 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have a bottle of this that I'll have to revisit. My first impression was not good. I remember thinking it was much more like a brandy than a rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopgcw Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 indeed they use sugar, which ups the sweetness to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
