Really nice layers of flavor - spice, caramel, sitrus and other fruits. The sweetness rounds out the rye spice nicely.

Well balanced spicy and sweet rye with some fruity notes. Reminded me of a chocolate orange and Christmas spices — in the best way.

Lots of fruity, herbal layers. Just enough bite and spiciness to keep you on your toes. A bit of a honey/light sweetness on the back. A really nice rye lover’s rye.

Like a rich, dark chcolate covered peppermint paired with a caramel latte. The finish is particularly long and sweet. This is a dessert pour through and through, and downright delicious.

Slightly unexpected combination of creamy, savory, and salty/mineral notes. Has a bit more character than most entry-level highland/speyside scotches but doesnt quite impress either.

Sweet bourbon flavors with a smoky scotch layer especially prominent on the finish, tied together by the malty, grainy Chattanooga foundation. Phenomenal stuff neat, and takes an old fashioned to the next level.

Really fun rye - expected spice and mint/herbal notes paired nicely with cereal/malt that comes out softer and sweeter somehow. Very interesting fruit note. Well rounded and very tasty.

(Barrel pick from Brown Jug AK) Lots of flavor and more floral and dark fruit notes than I’ve noticed in most ryes. Nicely balanced w/the oak, vanilla, and spice. Alcohol burn is present but not overwhelming. A splash of water brings out more floral and fruit notes and mutes the ethanol - recommend trying both. Really nice stuff.

Wow. This may be the best effect I’ve ever tasted from a barrel finish. The wine barrels gave some seriously rich, powerful raisin and fruit notes that complement the bourbon perfectly. Not overly complex but wow is it delicious.

Conflicted about this one. Really unique and standout flavors - spicy rye and mint dueling with citrus and fruit and an earthy grain flavor I’m guessing is from the malted barley. The proof and mix of flavors are a bit much and harsh on the finish, though, even watered down. Not a repeat buy for me but very unique. Great in blind tastings.
