This is a high rating, I know. This isn't a crazy complicated, high proof, and finished rye that'll do a tango in your mouth. But considering it's $23 and EVERYWHERE, for 90 proof it's honestly excellent. Seriously. Find me another Rye Whiskey in this range of criteria that is anywhere as good as this. In the proof range, I prefer Redwood Empire Emerald Giant, but it's for all intents and purposes, 2x the price. In the price range, it's got more character than the Elijah Craig Rye and the Jack Daniel's Rye IMO. Maybe the Ezra Brooks 99 Rye beats it. I think I'll do that blind tonight. But it's also 10 proof higher. Seriously, I think it's very good given the limitations on it price/proof wise. Is it gonna change your world? Probably not. Is it worth a buy? I say absolutely.
