The Roof Rye Double Maturation Sherry & Virgin Casks whisky bottle is a unique and exceptional spirit from the Warenghem distillery in France. This whisky, with a strength of 43% ABV and a volume of 500ml, undergoes a distinctive double maturation process. It begins with an initial aging period in sherry casks, followed by an additional two years of maturation in American oak casks, giving it a rich and layered profile. What truly sets this whisky apart is its final maturation stage, where the casks are stored in small cellars with tin roofs, a traditional method known as "under the roof" maturation. This technique exposes the whisky to a wide range of temperatures throughout the year and even within a single day, resulting in a complex and nuanced flavor profile. Upon first tasting, the attack is frank with spices predominating, including peppery notes. As the whisky moves across the palate, there is a small dip in the middle of the mouth, allowing the vanilla aromas to resurface for a woody, satisfying finish. The rye character is clearly marked by its passage in Spanish wine casks, making it quite distinct from more gourmet American Rye Whiskeys. On the nose, the whisky reveals a strong rye note in the foreground, slightly earthy and almost minty, accompanied by a good dose of vanilla and cinnamon spice. There is also a more subtle fruity touch that nearly blends with the oak. Over time, pepper and a caramel note emerge. The finish is moderately long, with a brief appearance of a cocoa note before returning to rye and nutmeg, complemented by a hint of vanilla. This whisky is a testament to the art of whisky making, offering a taste identity that is 100% French and sure to delight any whisky connoisseur.
The Roof Rye Double Maturation is unique due to its distinctive double maturation process. It undergoes an initial aging period in sherry casks, followed by an additional two years in American oak casks, culminating in a final maturation under tin roofs, which exposes it to a wide range of temperatures.
"Under the roof" maturation is a traditional method where whisky casks are stored in small cellars with tin roofs. This exposes the whisky to varying temperatures, both seasonally and daily, contributing to a complex and nuanced flavor profile.
This whisky's flavor differs from American Rye Whiskeys due to its maturation in sherry and American oak casks, as well as its unique "under the roof" maturation process. The result is a pronounced rye character with a mix of spicy, earthy, and woody notes, distinct from the typically sweeter American Rye Whiskeys.
The Roof Rye Double Maturation Sherry & Virgin Casks whisky is a fascinating departure from the familiar flavors of American Rye Whiskeys. The double maturation process and traditional "under the roof" aging result in a distinctive profile that is 100% French. The pronounced rye, complemented by an intriguing mix of spice, earthiness, and subtle vanilla, make this whisky a memorable experience. While it may not appeal to everyone, it undoubtedly offers something unique for those seeking a different and complex whisky.
