Still Austin The Artist Straight Rye Whiskey review: A fruity, sweet and spicy Texas rye that significantly exceeds expectations. ryewhiskey whiskey cocktails
Of all the would-be whiskey regions of the U.S., it often feels like no state has tried harder to craft a local whiskey scene than Texas, albeit with somewhat mixed results. The state does play home to some well-regarded craft distilleries, but “Texas bourbon” seems to have a uniquely divisive status among whiskey geeks.
Now, the company has taken its first step into straight rye whiskey territory, with the inaugural release of The Artist, bearing another attractive painted label in the same style as The Musician Bourbon. Like its predecessor, this is a fairly lightly aged whiskey that qualifies for the “straight” designation, presented at a pretty sturdy strength of 49.8% ABV .
On the nose, The Artist is bright and fruity right off the bat, with loads of orange citrus and apricot giving a delightfully soft impression. Ethanol is nice and reserved, while impressions of honey sweetness and graham cracker aren’t shy. Sweet fruitiness is the star of the show, though there are also traces of clove and a building roastiness that evokes a little bit of mocha or fudge.
