This may be my favorite new rye of 2020! Jack Daniels hit a bulls eye with this whiskey. My only complaint is that the nose was a bit faint which was surprising for the proof. The palate was amazing: think rock candy, caramel, spearmint, barrel char and baking spices! It is delicious. The finish is great as well with more barrel char, spices and lip smacking candy. The proof isn’t overwhelming either. I recommend 3-4 drops of water and I used a frozen whiskey ball.
