Got to taste this following our tour of the distillery. Big improvement over the regular expression of this whiskey. Nose is rye spice and fruit, strong enough to almost taste it. Nice, viscous mouthfeel and classic rye flavor profile. Lingering spicy finish. Very enjoyable. Our sample was batch 12 (122.8 proof). Purchased one of those, and a bottle of the batch 14 (119.8 proof) based on our tour guides recommendation.
