Tastes

Great! Rye balances out that high sweet, leathery corn taste of beam / knob creek bottlings. Classic sipper that won’t break the bank

High alcohol makes it tough to let this chill and develop on the palate without guzzling some water to ease heartburn. I guess I have met my match in high proof whiskeys. I hate to say it, but just a mist of water makes this open up better. True to Jim beam/ knob creek/ baker beam line this is a unique one if you like sweet, spicy and burnt corn / leather taste. Nice to have on the shelf as an alternate flavor profile profile to popular Buffalo trace whiskeys or high rye whiskeys

Young. Alcohol. One dimensional: burnt corn/ leather. Thought it would be a “unique” variant of bourbon but kinda too underwhelming. Don’t taste the wine barreling at all
