Light, spicy nose with some clover honey sweetness. Body is salted nuts, toffee, cereal, vanilla and wood. Medium oaky finish. One of the best values in rye.

Wheel Horse is to rye what Old Tub is to bourbon. It’s a young, light rye with clover honey on the pallet. Too weird for most people but, I like it.

Awful... Wouldn't pay more than $10 for another bottle. Gave it away to a friend that will mix it with cola. Otherwise would have thrown it away.

Very balanced with a caramel and brown sugar tone. Breathe out they your nose for an excellent post-nasal experience. Hard to beat for sub-$30.

Great rye, especially for the sub-$30 price! Has a nice sweetness up front, balanced by rye spice in the back. Very smooth for 101 proof.

Smells too much like rye and straw for me. Good old fashioned rye tho. Great price point
