This whisky has a mash bill of 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% barley, so it's a high rye mash bill. I paid $32.99 for a fifth at the Uptown Total Wine store here in Albuquerque - and I waited months, nearly a year I think, for it to return to the shelves; when I started looking, it was already out of stock, so it might have been missing for long than the nine or 10 months I think I looked. It's 114 proof, of course, and there's no age statement. In the glass it's a copper color. NOSE: Honey, caramel, corn sweetness, creamed corn, pine lumber (I suspect that the occurrence of such vegetable and fruit notes has to do with the high rye content - it's nearly a third of the total mash bill), spice - cinnamon and red pepper?, fruit - grapes and oranges?, wood smoke, a hint of pickled jalapeños, a little bit of grass, Baker's chocolate, and a slight grain note that might have been puffed wheat. MOUTHFEEL: Buttery. TASTE: Honey!, black pepper, dark chocolate, rye bread. I never get as much on the palate as I do on the nose, so the disparity in the number of notes between the two shouldn't put anyone off. FINISH: Long, beginning with dark chocolate, bringing in a note of sweet tea, then honey and orange, and an oak that stays and stays. SUMMARY: I waited for months to buy this, and it was worth the wait (though the wait was very frustrating). It's considerably more complex than I expected it to be, and there's not a thing about it I don't like. I'll absolutely buy it again...assuming it remains available. RATING: On my hick scale, it's Fine, which if you're counting from the bottom is the sixth rating out of eight. That converts to 3.75 stars, or 75/100 or 7.5/10 depending on which way you want to use those numbers.
