This is an older review never posted but I just got another bottle on sale for $15 so figured post away. : I wanted to get a rye with a different mashbill. There are a lot with 95 rye and a lot with 51rye. This one at 70% fit the bill . Nose I get juicy fruit gum for sure along with banana and doughy rye combining for a banana bread of sorts. Also some burnt campfire marshmallow and a little dill as well. Palate provides more banana,rye dough, touch of caramel and char with a little heat. Finishes with fading sweetness and cereal, minimal burn with oak/char/dill hanging on. I was leery of JD rye but this is good stuff, suits my sweet palate well. Overall Im surprised and impressed and feel this is a unique enjoyable profile for a rye. 83/100......great value here and the single barrel is even a few clicks better

@Cornmuse Sometimes you have to get up to get down!
This is the whiskey that got me to re-examine the JD lineup. Versatile, different (Enough with the 51 and 95%’ers. There are shelves full of those.), and affordable. Quite tasty, as well.
Nice notes. This one is a "guilty pleasure" for me. A nice rye that really can't stand up in a cocktail but is excellent on its own. I like this neat with a cup of black coffee.
