Flaviar bottle from 06/2022 but just getting around to cracking it!Batch number 463, bottled by Chris. Pour is nice and smooth Color is a pretty medium amber Nose is incredible - caramel overtones with bold rye spice and mint, some licorice First sip is very buttery and very smooth. Chocolate, butterscotch, buttery vanilla, almonds and hints of cherry and banana. Very sweet and nice soft spice. This one is phenomenal and would highly recommend! Refreshingly different and well worth it!

Last pour of barrel 11640. This bottle has certainly deteriorated with time, but just bought a new bottle at Belmont Bev on Main and Cleveland for $59.99 and hoping the next bottle is better.

Bought at Costco (only 4”3 left!). Warehouse Q Floor 06 Rickhouse 1. Barreled on 4/18/2016 Selected date 3/9/2022. A nicely rounded rye, but not the “harsh, punch-you-in-your-face” spice or greener/mint flavors that I was hoping for. Decent and happy to drink again.

Had at Cafe Navarre with McKinley on our one month anniversary! Actually really enjoyed this - the aromas were crisp oak and the taste was full of caramel and vanillas

Had at Fat Bird in South Bend two nights ago. Was pretty disappointed - pretty sharp but not an elegant or memorable finish. Did not open up with a splash of water

Had at the distillery the day McK found out she was pregnant. Lots of banana and earthy notes with some fruit. Clean and dry.

CASK STRENGTH VERSION (had in person as fart of a flight at the distillery the day we found out McK was pregnant ). Cola, chocolate, and spice with a long finish of wood and malty biscuit

Had again at the distillery the day McK found out she was pregnant. Very earthy but just as good as last time
