Barrel Rye Single Barrel MG07

It’s December 29, and I’m going to try a new rye whiskey every day this month. And while my rye game is not as weak as my Scotch game was this time last year, I’m always up for suggestions on good rye whiskies. Goals (abridged): 5 ryes. 4.5 stars. Readily available. (6/5, WT101, Whistlepig 10, Whistlepig 12, Old Riff, VOSN Summer Rye, Willett 4yr) I want to recognize the difference between any bourbon and any rye. First try. One of these must be an Empire Rye. (1/1, Hudson) I want a rye that’s the worst thing that my eldest kid can think of. I want the one that tastes like being tortured for all eternity. >>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nose- molasses and brown sugar Body- classic rye flavors come through strongly, brown sugar and baking spices are pervasive Finish- brown sugar gives way to sweet grass This was a very tasty Bourbon Barrons pick to benefit a breast cancer charity.
