This is a barrel pick from The Frankfort Bourbon Society in Kentucky.
Age: 6 years
Barrel date: 11/18/2013
Pick date: 11/21/2019
Warehouse: W-L
Floor: 04
Rick: 027
Proof: 115
Nose: quite delicate for a rye, hardly any ethanol at all. Hints of honeydew, banana, and butterscotch. Noses a bit more like a bourbon than a rye, but rye lovers probably wouldn’t be fooled.
Taste: you definitely know you’re drinking a rye. Peppercorns and floral notes, with a little spearmint.
Finish: medium.
A different rye for my taste. My favorite rye for instance is Willett 4-year. This may appeal to those looking for an older rye that won’t break the bank if you can find a barrel pick.
