Lucky that i picked this batch 1 owl after this was released few years ago. This rye is 11 years old thats way longer than most ryes in market with age statement and good amount of proof which preserves those aromas and flavours which is not findable in other ryes. It is very pleasant on nose with notes of spices , oak , some butter and is complex . This rye feels delicious in mouth hitting every spot .its fuller , richer , sweet, spicy . Great rye i’ve tasted so far . I find this better than some thomas h handy releases . Would be great if price was somewhere around £100 - £120 .
