4.5 stars - Fantastic; 750 ml bottle Wow. Like. Wow. Original flavor. The closest comparison is the old recipe of High West Double Rye mixed with Four Roses Select Small Batch. Herbal, rich rye flavor, gentle oak, hint of malt, and with some air a very nice dark chocolate note. Perfect proof, cool bottle. It is a shame New Riff Malted 6 yr Rye and Willet 4 Yr Rye are a rarity around here. I would keep these perpetually stocked. Tasting both side-by-side, I give the edge to Willet. But it is damn close.
