[7/15/15] The location really made the whiskey for me. Drank this at a blues bar in Orlando with ribs, potatoes and spicy poppers. This is simple and acceptable rye. Light red fruits, and that twangy sour-pepper rye taste. Didn't really pick up the tobacco but my impression could have been obscured by the smoke in the air. Good to sip but not the best for the price.
