Your milage may vary, barrel to barrel, but it's a great offering from an MGP sourced producer at a decent price. The high rye lends itself to a strong profile that taste a lot older than 4 years, with a great punch. You won't regret picking it up if you see one on the shelf. It's got its own uniqueness that helps separate it from the pack of new releases. Haven't had a chance to try a 6 yr release, but I'm sure the ageing will have added additional sweet notes that justify a price increase.

6yr aged bourbon that’s a great value for the price. I found cinnamon, dark chocolate, and nutmeg. As the liquid worked its way back, plum, cherry, and brown sugar. Finally, on the back, almond, and rye spice. The finish was all spice but it wasn't overwhelming. Liked it so much I went back for a second bottle to keep on the shelf for a special occasion.
The aroma has notes of Vanilla, oak, and allspice, subtle hints of cinnamon. Upon tasting, the bourbon has a velvet mouth feel. Hints of vanilla, nuttiness, caramel, an almost s'mores tase, and an oaky afterbirth finish. For a mashbill with 36% rye, this bourbon is extremely well balanced with no spiciness we relate to rye whiskeys. An absolute treat.
Sweet heat! So good. The high corn and rye mash bill gives this barrel proof bastard is one of the better bourbons I’ve tried. The nose is like cherry pipe tobacco. The palate very sweet tobacco forward with a spiced mince pie finish. Little tinge of a spice burn at the end.
The nose on this bad boy is RICH. Lots of caramel and butterscotch with some fainter strawberry notes as well. Palate isn’t quite as sweet, with notes of baking spice and nuts. Finish is medium-long with a nice hug and notes of rye spice and cloves.
A young spicy rye. A little bit of oak, but not very much. Black pepper, baking spice, and leather up front. A little hint of sweet, then a short punchy finish. Not bad, but honestly much better rye out there in the price range.
