It’s fine. Ya know? Freddie is taking a while getting his sea legs. I’m not really a rye guy, and this is very much a rye. Perhaps some of the weird notes i picked up are from the malt as well? Idk. Saw a review for this before I opened it and he described the nose and palate to contain dill. Ever since i heard it, i cant get it out of my head and thats a majorly what I taste here. I don’t love it, but i guess that’s the game. I really just wish this series would keep it simple. Quit with all the marrying of different types of american whiskey together. Give me a straight bourbon or a straight rye. Full stop. Edit/Update: Perhaps I was being a bit hasty in my innitial assessment. After giving it a couple weeks to breath, the bottle opened up REAL nice. A lot of those odd notes i’d detected upon first popping the cork have married together in the bottle to create a much more pleasant and “LE” type drinking experience. Patience is a virtue! Give this one some time.
