This just came in a close second to Willett 4 yr Small Batch Ry in a blind tasting that also included Pikesville, and Russell's Reserve SiB Rye. They were close but distinctly different. The WTRB was creamier and fuller. The W4 was richer and more flavorful. Depending on the mood, I would gladly reach for either as a top choice and feel the winner each time.
