Pikesville Straight Rye

Surprisingly good. Very smooth and to the point. Enjoyed in South Carolina with Dwight Olson.

definite spice and a smooth natural burn. lingers a bit, has a nice bite..

Straight up. Pretty bad. Even after giving it some air and waiting a week. Turpentine, alcohol, not much spice. I don’t like to admit this after paying $45 for this, but I even prefer 1776 better which is bottom shelf IMHO.

I really liked this. Had it with a little water and ice. I might like the Highwest Double Rye a little more but it's close. Much more spicy.

For a new whiskey guy, this hurts. We’ll talk later though.

3cL Sample from Fine Drams of the 6-yr Nose: vanilla, orange zest, butterscotch Palate: Wet cereal with milk. Just a ton of that vanilla. Hides proof well. Finish: Moderately long. Pepper, leather, smoke Water opens this one up really well. I think this is a good $50 bottle. I may purchase to try in an OF, as the sample isn't adequate for that.
