Tastes

havent tasted a BT distilled product I didnt like and this one is no different. nose isn't as soft and caught me off guard but the flavor is nice. I see it compared to Blanton's and maybe that's because it's a single barrel product but they're pretty different IMO. I would give the edge to Blantons but if you like spice and cinnamon, this has that but just not something I've come to expect in my bourbons.

one of my favorite rye at retail

cinnamon, spice and everything nice

The nose is really nice and had me with high hopes of a rye that tasted like my other favorites. On first sip, the palate is nice and gives the spice that I've come to love with my rye's. The finish leaves a little to be desired but overall is something I would happily drink but not go out of my way to purchase. I'm not sure if it's the 20% corn that sneaks into the finish but something prevents it from being a smooth finish for me.
