First bourbon offering from Dayton (OH) Barrel Works. Extremely impressive for a first release. Very balanced spice with cinnamon and peppermint notes. Caramel and vanilla appear in the background. Nice lingering finish. I am guessing this was sourced from Midwest Grain Products since the bottle indicates it was distilled in Indiana. If so, MGP did them right.40.0 USD per Bottle

I know this gets a bad wrap, but I like it. Smooth with nice undertones. The black cherry comes through, but not overwhelming. Oak finish adds some depth. It’s a wheat bourbon, so if you are into ryes and a big spice kick, this will not be for you. I like them all, and this is a nice change of pace.

Actually, I really liked this bourbon. Balanced profile with some decent spice, but some nice sweet and smoky notes underneath. Biggest issue is price. Retails for way too much. If this was $30, I’d buy it all day long. At $70+... won’t buy another bottle. Just nowhere near worthy of that price point.75.0 USD per Bottle

First “Kentucky chew” sip was fire, but my palette quickly adapted and this became a very pleasurable, easy sipping rye. Yes, the spice was there, but for a barrel proof rye, the sweet honey, vanilla notes come through. Finish is similar and fades nicely. Excellent complement to the Rare Breed Bourbon.60.0 USD per Bottle
