About this bottle

This is a high-rye mash bourbon (56% corn, 31% rye, 13% barley) made by Tad Seestedt at Ransom Spirits, tucked down in the hills of NW Oregon. Distilled in a 300-gallon Pruehlo alembic copper pot-still, it is aged for at least 2 years in American oak, though it does see some additional aging in French oak. It is then hand-bottled, labeled, and wax-sealed. The labeling depicts a bootlegger using the faux name Henry DuYore to hide his real identity.

drlewis 4.5

Really smoky and oak wood in nose and tongue. Rye spice holds up across the pallet. Leather and wood finish. An acquired taste perhaps, but worth it. It's not going to be great in every cocktail, but straight with ice, or with amaro like a Manhattan... Ahhh Yes! Retasted 2/2021. Profile remains the same--oak and leather, smoky, corn but not super sweet. It is an unusual profile, and maybe not the 4.5 I gave it three years ago, but still enjoyable. Batch 6, Bottle 2676.
