Lock stock 16 year rye vs Barrell 13 year rye 13 Nose : tart, rich spicey rye light ethanol 16 nose : sweet rich tangy almost like cheese but not 13 taste : tangy funk rye spicy, citrus fruits with a good funky spicy finish 16 taste : rich sweet smooth and oaky, rich desert wine rye with a lighter spicy finish Well I sampled the 13 first tonight and it showed up. It has more depth and spice and the flavor I want in a rye. I have rated the lock 16 higher before seperately. Lock is no slouch, very rich and sweet with a nice oak finish. Tonight the barrell wins but could be different another night. Either way both great ryes! Barrell 13 - 9.5/10 Lock 16 - 9.25/10
