This product is a rye whiskey composed of a distillate made from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It is then re-distilled and aged in a 53 gallon barrel made from new, heavily charred American oak. It is bottled at 86 proof.

Nose - Very gentle with notes of vanilla, oak, rye bread and a hint of caramel. Palate - Gentle with vanilla and a slight bit of honey that builds up and gives way to soft rye spices with pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and buttered toast. Finish - Mouth coating and warm with lingering spice and creaminess, but fades away too quick.
Second glass of the bottle. In general, Pleasant but mild. A little honey and wet rye on the nose, along with a tiny bit of mint maybe. Flavor builds on the palate toward vanilla and cinnamon sweet, followed by a little barrel char. Everything is nice and smooth, but I wish the flavors were a little bigger.
Very little rye exposure for me so this is a novice review. Malty and perhaps a bit hot and peppery with clear oak notes in between and some vanilla too. Interesting how the sweetness develops with the rather sharp rye flavour. Medium to short but hot finish
I’m a huge fan of this in an old fashion (my favorite to date) but at the price not sure some people would want to mix it. Still solid neat or on the rocks.
A nice rye. Lots of typical rye spices and flavors mixed in with delicious barrel notes. Hardly any alcohol bite which makes for a seriously good sipper
Amber. Strong vanilla. Semisweet, mild spice. Medium alcohol. Simple, pleasant enough.
