Tastes

Just picked this up. I have been anticipating it’s release for several months. When I saw it on the shelf today I started shaking. I haven’t felt this way since the time I first laid eyes on Pappy Rye or the time I found out the Mcribb was coming back! Don’t judge. I’m going to eat a box of saltines to clean my pallet followed by an hour of meditation before I put on my finest drinking jacket, turn on George Thurgood’s “ I drink alone”, and engage in this affair called Cornerstone Rye. Wish me well y’all.

Great juice- although underrated. A limited addition first run barrel proof from a reputable distillery. What happened? Price. Get past the high price and understand that cask strength is worth its weight in gold as it is traditionally watered down to make three times the amount. Of course it is going to cost more. Master distiller Chris Morris is one of the last credible old school industry master distillers. This juice will be highly sought after in the future. Great flavor similar to EC BP. Makes sense as both are not sourced and from a consistent distilling process. Well done Chris, well done.

Weird taste which I cannot pinpoint exactly what. Tried revisiting a second time only to confirm I do not care for. Left 2/3 of remaining bottle at cigar shop for others to decide. Maybe somebody else will find enjoyable. I will not purchase again.
