- Batch 14: Having previously recorded tastes of this whiskey, I debated whether or not to do so again. But it did so well against the other 11 ryes in our tasting event, I felt it deserved just one more thumbs up. Sweet citrusy nose, buttery smooth, viscous mouthfeel and a cinnamon finish. Just excellent. After this taste, I'm elevating it to a solid 5.0! - Batch 12, Bottle 176/230, 122.8 Proof: - Batch 17, Bottle 51/210, 121.8 Proof: - Batch 18, Bottle 37/224, 125.7 Proof: - Batch 21, Bottle 11/189, 121.7 Proof:
