Belfour Rye Whiskey

Good rye. Spicy and grainy. Slightly fruity. @Mark-McNamara @Kyle-Metes-Randolph

Double pour from the shoulders. Having already tried this startups standard bourbon I figured I'd give the rye a chance maybe it can make up for what the bourbon was lacking. The 70-20-10 bill gives this rye a good punch of sugars up front, this is one of my favorite bills and just enough warm sugars balance the rye spiciness to make this seem like it might be a bold and full ride. Unfortunately young malt and corn rough edges are readily apparent, in a well aged package everything here would be a good if not amazing rye, but well aged this is not. The exuberance of rushing young product to market has killed many a startup, and the mortuary may need to make space. All and all it isn't a bad drink but at the same price as a 10 year Whistle Pig, unless you're just looking to add unique looking bottles to your cabinet, this is a hard pass. With an MSRP well into the upper 70's, this is a good cheap rye that unfortunately isn't cheap. Cheers!

70% rye so there’s some spice at the end but not enough to need a mixer. Drinking it neat at my house. Peppery with enough body to make it worthwhile but it doesn’t really linger on the tongue. A little costly around here but the bottle itself is almost worth it. Eddie Belfour can be proud of his product, IMO.
