Tastes

Bitter. Spicy. Peppery. No sweetness. Decent price and as good as the single barrel rebel 100 / 10 year old in my opinion.

Spicy. Citrusy. Like oranges sort of similar to WT Kentucky Spirit but sweeter. Baked bread nose. Really smooth and unique flavor. I highly recommend it.

Lots a different flavors. Deep flavor but has a lot of different layers. It shines with some water splashed in. Great nose. I love this whiskey. Worth the investment

Heavy char flavor. Sweet. Nice nose. Tastes like it’s age. Lots of flavor. I get dark chocolate and spices type thing in the flavor. Robust flavor is the best way for me to describe it. I very much like this whiskey. Buying a backup/spare bottle today. Worth every penny. Compared to Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof, this whiskey has less layers of flavors than the Jack but it is very different and delicious, too, which I appreciate.

#72 bought at distillery. Lots of spice and oak. Tastes young. Too young or something. To me, it is not a very full flavored bourbon. Nice char finish. But medium finish that sort of fades into what reminds me of an over watered down bourbon like god awful Basil Hayden

Sweet. Rich flavor. Very nice finish. Wine like tannins and acidic. I taste fruit flavors of some sort. Really tasty. Lots of nose. Vanilla or cookies baking? Something pretentiously descriptive like that. I bought the little bottle. I’m going to add the regular sized bottle to my collection. I don’t prefer the regular Woodford but this one is really really good. Not disappointed in the least. 90 proof is so perfect.

I really didn’t like this at all. I do like regular Whistlepig but I should have known better than to buy a sherry cask finished rye. Personally, the wine tannic taste is pronounced to me and I despise it. Even in Scotches. It was a stupid purchase on my part. I poured the bottle out after it sat for over a year. Horrible. To me. Obviously others might love it. But whisky reviews are subjective.

Very spicy. Smooth for a somewhat higher proof whisky. Great place to tour if your in the area. Supremely nice staff who make the best Old fashioned. Mine is 4 years / Cask 1034. 110 proof. Bought it at distillery after the great tour. I’d love a really old rye from them.

Old rye (12-18 years) tastes so different from the more common four year olds like Peppers or Willett. This is so earthy and more levels of flavor. I get spice but I also get something very deep and earthy like moss, peat, or something like that. The taste is not gross at all but my ability to describe the taste is limited. I’m not so smart that way. I love this rye. I have been rationing a bottle for years since it inexplicably disappeared from NC. I very very much recommend this. Gold standard for old rye in my opinion.

The tasting notes described in this review are accurate. I think this bourbon is a great sippin’ whiskey that is perfect neat. Smooth and nice finish. I would buy another bottle. Recommend.
