For a kansas whiskey , it's worth the price. Struggles vs. The other small distillery ryes i have. Wasn't a fan of it at first. Let it sit for a month and it really opened up. It was initially dry and funky without any stand alone characteristics . On second taste it's a heavy cherry bomb . Probably a mixer. 8/13: Updating this. Really opened up. And a straight cherry bomb; elevating previous note re: being mixer to being good on the rocks. Probably between an 8-9 but I am feeling generous so I'll lean on the high side after being impressed with how it opened up.
