Liquor City Uncorked pick, "Gallenstein's Selection #2" Barreled on 12-13-2014 Bottled on 10-01-2021 Age - 6 years, 9 months, 18 days 58.5% abv; 117 proof Open 10 weeks Nose - Sweet clove and dill, caramel, cinnamon, allspice, rich oak, tobacco, pine needles, and medium ethanol. Palate - Oily rye spices, heavy clove, black pepper, gingerbread, and leather. Finish is long with hot oak, dry rye spices, black pepper, hint of cardamon, brown sugar, and medium ethanol. The Senator is excellent, but not the best value for an MGP rye. It is one of the older barrel proof ryes you can buy under $100 at nearly 7 years, so that is definitely a perk. Personally I think you will get a similar quality MGP rye with 5-6 year old Old Scout picks for $20 less.
