I picked up a bottle of this on a recent business trip and I have been looking for it in my area but no one carried it. This is a Maryland-style rye meaning that it is around 75% rye grain and 25% either corn or barley. It is light amber in the glass and the nose is a little spicey with some baking spices showing up and it does coat the glass nicely. The body is longer than I expected for an 83 proof rye with the spices, citrus, and wood showing up. There is also a little crispness in it like a mintiness but it is not mint I am impressed. The finish is not bad with a sweet and spicy ending. In an Old Fashioned, it is not bad and the citrus really comes out when a fresh orange is used. However, in a Manhattan, the vermouth can very easily mask this rye. Overall, I believe this rye is a bit overpriced at $35 in my area as Old Overholt, Rittenhouse, and James E Pepper 1776 Rye are stronger and cheaper. I will probably not purchase again unless it is on sale I think this is a $30 rye but it was not terrible. Enjoy.
