I think the claim to fame of this offering is that, once upon a time, it was one of the few 6-8y, 36% rye MGP mash bill products out there. To anyone who had never tasted such a thing (much more spicy - dill, pepper, cardamom and almost a cedar note rather than oak) it would likely change hearts and minds. Fast forward 5 years, after never being able to find the stuff, and the shelves are littered with the same offering under 20 different independent labels. I’m sure the owners would argue that theirs is different, but it’s not. Classic high-rye MGP bourbon. Probably worth $60-70 uncut and at full proof but not a dollar more. If you can’t find it (which I generally cannot) then any 36% rye MGP bourbon will. Personally I would take cask strength Belle Meade, which is richer and sweeter than this, any day. No longer unique, I struggle to see how this remains so sought after.
