Tarnished Truth 3 Year Old High Rye Straight Bourbon

It’s good, but not a typical rye to me. It’s smooth instead of spicy. The malted barley stands out, reminds me of a scotch, maybe Dalmore 12, with some crown royal winter wheat mixed in. I got it on sale for $12 off. Can’t say I would pay full price for it.

Initial vanilla, then a spicy/hot rye. Finishes smooth. I think it would make a GREAT Manhattan.

Not bad for an old fashioned, the high rye really stands out on the nose and it's quite spicy. But there are much cheaper options to accomplish the same end goal.

Bottle 0899 batch 24: some spice, nothing heavy. Young
