Journeyman Distillery Not A King has been a real mystery to me, because I’ve had a hit and miss relationship with their products. I loved their Last Feather Rye, but some items have thrown me, and this Not A King Whiskey is one of them.

Product Information: Our Journeyman Distillery Not A King Whiskey is a nod back to George Washington’s original rye whiskey recipe. Rye takes center stage with corn serving as the secondary grain in the mash bill.

At first pour, notes of honey explode from the glass and a creamy, buttery body coats the tongue. As the whiskey opens up on the palate, flavors of stone, fruit, orange peel and apricot shine. The finish is long and sweet with a subtle smokiness.

Not a King was review by F. Paul Pecult and given 5 stars, his highest recommendation for this finely crafted whiskey. Paul, the founder of the acclaimed Spirit Journal, remarked: “Mashbill is 60% rye/40% corn. Pretty speia / cinnamon color; very good clarity.

Wow, there’s a keen spiciness in the first nosing pass that evolves into seeded (caraway) rye bread and new saddle leather; more aeration helps to develop deeper fragrances of rye snack cracker (Ryvita), rye bread, ground black pepper. Entry is sweeter, more sap-like and resiny than the bouquet and turns stunningly maple-like right before the midpalate stage; midpalate is caramelized, succulent, toasted, maple all over the place and fabulously tasty.

Finishes long, resiny / oaky, rich in texture, a little spiky alcohol-wise, but luscious and creamy. A pinnacle achievement for this Michigan distiller.” Spirit Journal June 2016 / 5 stars / Highest Recommendation.
