October 8, 2023 (edited March 28, 2024)
Liquor City Uncorked pick, "Gallenstein Selection"
MGP sourced 95% rye / 5% malted barley
Barrel No. 29
Age - 6 years
61.3% abv; 122.6 proof
Open 2 months
Nose - Clove, star anise, light black peppercorn, toasted rye bread, toffee, leather, and medium ethanol.
Palate - Peppercorn medley, clove, allspice, toast, maple syrup, light dill, and juniper berry. Finish is long and oil with dry oak, tobacco smoke, black pepper, clove, and harsher ethanol burn.
6 year MGP ryes are typically good buys, and this is no exception. If some random NDP has sourced bourbon and rye at roughly the same age, I'd buy the rye every time. There are definitely cheaper options out there, but this compares favorably to a recent buy, The Senator. You can't go wrong with either, but I'm beginning to see more O.K.I. Rye picks in my area while The Senator is more difficult to find.
