Earthy sweet. Long finish. Tremendous

Spicy and bold. The rye spice is high given this is their lower rye mash bill. The age is also apparent. Very flavorful and spicy up front, but almost melts in your mouth with a smooth finish. Great.

Leathery nose. Vanilla, berry, smoke, cherry, looong lingering finish.

One pour. The nose - disappointing. Just too subtle. Sun dried oak, brown tobacco... that’s about it. Sun, wood and ethanol. The color is surprisingly light. For what it is worth this bottle probably ha 2-3oz left so excessive oxidation could be playing a role. Entry is soft and flavors start out with vanilla, butterscotch, slight oak astringency, pear, faint tobacco. Second sip just gets better with more caramel and floral notes. More cinnamon, more allspice. I would put this on par with other 4R limited editions I’ve tried. The astringency is its Achilles heel for me. I expect no flaws in this range of fine bottles. Barterhouse 20 territory, slightly better perhaps. Lovely, balanced. But does it meet expectations? Not really, but expectations are a *****.
