Tastes

Nice smoke flavor. Smooth & easy drinking.

Started very hot. Had a lingering throat burn for about 15 seconds after just a little time with some ice. Needed a good 15 minutes on ice to cool off. At that point, had little flavor. Really just a bad whiskey in my opinion.

Lighter in flavor for a rye, but nice and smooth. Decent offering.

Caramel sweetness. Lingering heat; needed to ice for 10 minutes to enjoy. Not bad, but I'm not crazy about this either. Minimal spice I enjoy from ryes. I Think that's why I not a bigger fan of this.

3.6 Fuller flavor than the 10 year.

Wow! Unique offering for sure. Tequila barrel offers a lot, but not as expected. Medium sweetness from start to finish. Cola flavor present. Overall, extremely easy to drink whiskey with strong sweetness and smooth flavors. Easily worth the cost. Not for traditional bourbon drinkers though. Excellent whiskey IMO.
