Reviewed December 18, 2020 (edited March 27, 2021)Nose: chocolate and caramel. Side note: very dark color for a 4 year Palate: soo smooth and oily. Very chocolatey too. Finish: caramel and medium length. Overall: a sample from a buddy and I didn’t take this as serious as usual. Very solid rye though. Especially for a 4 year45.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed November 29, 2020Smooth and great candy like texture. 124.5 proof, barrel 15-5940. Review taste after bottle open for 3 months. One of my fav straight barrel strength rye at any age/location. Def not for most new rye drinkers -

Reviewed November 13, 2020 (edited May 6, 2021)I love this nose. It is a wonderful rye nose with a very strong cinnamon and baking spice influence. Lots of mint, too. The palate is just way too hot for me. This is a bartender’s DREAM rye, though. Makes a wonderful spicy Manhattan or Boulevardier. It’s got all the classic rye notes, just turned up to 11. I’m torn on this one. It’s just too much rye spice (might just be this barrel) for me to genuinely enjoy neat, but it’s an amazing cocktail rye or with a few drops of water to open it up. I don’t know of any other whiskies using a 100% rye without any malted barley at all. That in itself is commendable.
