TINCUP Straight Rye

Visiting family in VA and thought I'd see if I could find something not available here in NC. I found two, Cooper's Craft and the new Tin Cup Rye. It's Tin Cup's turn... Nose: Dried Spices. Dill, Oregano, Black Pepper, Dry and Dusty. Slight Sweetness with a Polished Oak. Neat: Spicy. Vanilla, Dill, Black Pepper, Grapefruit Peel, Eucalyptus, and a healthy Tingle. The finish is slightly warming with Vanilla, Black Licorice, and Light Oak coating the palate. Splash: Not much change. Only served to slightly mute the flavors. Verdict: About what I expected. Nothing to separate it from MGP's other 95/5 offerings. All are around $30 and make great mixers.
