Reviewed December 21, 2014 (edited March 1, 2015)This Rye Haunts my Dreams. Big warning that this is not for beginners, as this has so much character and personality, assertively put, it may but some off. It is a pickle monster, so keep that in mind. If you aren't into that I'd advise a rye with less, well, rye... If you let this sit and breathe for about 25-45 minutes in a glencairn, it just explodes with flavor in the nose, this somehow effects the palate as well, as the nose is so incredibly powerful. When I say transforms it; it just blossoms with candy shop magic. This is not a "barely legal" rye like Sazerac and Rittenhouse, Instead it's a high rye mashbill that's serious business. Sooo smooth for it's age. I can only imagine what this will be like at 6-8-12 years, might be legendary. Finish is so long I'll be getting glimpses of both the nose and the palate for hours afterwards, sometimes even after meals!
