Reviewed April 1, 2020 (edited January 18, 2022)Store pick - so buyer beware. Nose - I don't like rye, lol. OK joking aside, this is a harder profile to note. I get those traditional bourbon vanilla and oak notes, but there's a rye note I don't really know how to articulate. It's spicy and sharp but it's pretty nice more bourbon forward rye. Maybe some brown sugar and I dunno some kinda sweet syrup. Taste - There's oak, mint, caramel, rye spice, and really that's it. It's a pretty oak driven flavor. Maybe some butter scotch. I'm a solid 2.0 here. It's average. It's an enjoyable rye whisky. I wouldn't buy it again but I only bought it for the right to get the weller full proof. But it won't got to waste. This might become my starter whisky or the one I pour when I've had a couple and just want to sip and not think.47.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed March 25, 2020 (edited January 18, 2022)This was a fantastic Rye and hit on so many solid notes one seeks in a SiB Rye. This had ample proof, along with plenty of spice. This ranks up there with some of my favorites but still isn’t WFE 4yr Rye. -

Reviewed January 6, 2020 (edited January 18, 2022)Store pick from Liquor Express in Tempe, AZ. On the nose getting a lot of banana and clove; reminiscent of a good Hefeweizen beer. Delving deeper we find dill, cooking herbs (sage? thyme?), movie theater butter, and snickerdoodle cookie. The level of ethanol in the nose is zero; something I wasn't sure possible at 115 proof so definitely extra points for that. On the palate, opens with rich liquid snickerdoodle, followed by a nice slow transition to a slightly herbal mid-palate, leading to a long and peppery finish. The sticky sweetness remains present underneath as it changes, making for a nice smooth ride instead of a jarring turn. I dig the journey. Mouthfeel is slick and buttery. Fits the flavor and proof perfectly. A definite winner. At $50, I feel I got what I paid for. The sweetness makes it more of a bourbon lovers rye. Those looking for a dill bomb or herb garden might want to look elsewhere. My area seems to be swimming in store picks for this expression so eager to try some other picks.50.0 USD per Bottle
