Figured I'd just leave first impressions here.
Nose - simple, classic rye. Not much oak or anything big or special here. Clean sweetness is really the central theme. More than you might expect.
Taste - The arrival is almost like this crystalline sugar with a touch of a sour candy note over vanilla. Pretty yummy.
Finish- nice finish, leather and tobacco, pretty good linger too.
A darn good rye, but dare I say not really a big step up on the neck from the 4 years. More oak and leather/tobacco. It's good. 2.5 for a neck pour.
I can't say I'd chase this down. If you see one and want older rye, go for it. But so far their malted rye is their true go to rye.
