I have been saving this bottle for years. Just a pour from time to time and tonight I finished the bottle. Nose: herbal with a note of spice Taste: first for a 109 proof rye it drinks like it is a 80 or 90 proof, super smooth. I get the rye spice but not over powering. Dried apple and a little spice. Nothing over powering but just great quality. Finish: the rye spice stays with you and just makes you smile. Overall: since it’s the same mash bill as every other rye in the wild Turkey line up you taste the similarities but with the extra aging and the artful blending this rye is just beautiful.

Bottle has been open for about a month. Nose: oak and dark berries. Taste: the oak hits hard at first then the blackberry/apple comes through. But the oak comes back with a punch. I get a little strawberries and cream as well. Finish: the oak stays with you with the dark berry attempting to help the lingering musty taste. Overall: 6-12 years is the best bourbon I have had but this is enjoyable since it’s 18 years old. But with the low proof every sip taste watered down. I wish it was a non-chilled filtered bottling.
