Great rye whiskey for the price. Would highly recommend anyone who is curious about rye. Sweet raisin on the front palate and finishes with balanced baking spices on the back palate. As someone who also loves wine, the pinot adds a rich fruitiness that makes this bottle unique and interesting.

95% Rye, 5% Malted Barley finished in French Oak casks that had been previously filled with Pinot Noir. 90 proof. Spicy Rye with notes of citrus, vanilla, raspberry and a bit of baking spice. Delicious and smooth pour. Don't sleep on this one! Great Value! 93pts.
MGP with a Pinot Noir finish is lovely. P.S. this is slowly turning into my favorite Rye. P.S. this is my favorite Rye.
Neat: Rye spices, wine, grapes, hot alcohols. Not sure about this one. Hopefully it opens up.
