[11.23.15] Another fine catch at the Frankenmuth tasting house. This was the fourth Grand Traverse I tasted that morning (yes, 10 am on a Monday is just fine with me), so my judgment could be biased. The rep said this is their most popular offering but I would say I liked the double barrel better. This has all of the white dog rye sweetness of the OYO variety but the spice has been pilfered by the barrel. You'd never believe this was rye if you didn't have a memory of that cranky sweetness that hides in a strong rye blend. Like their other offerings, the oak does catch up with you but lurks in the shadows with the pepper. As has already been said on here - this is a fine sipping rye.
