👃 obviously a rye. I'll say going in to this, this rye is one of the only ones I enjoy just sipping neat. I might actually prefer cocktails with a rye whiskey, but I don't usually find them as enjoyable to sip on than a good bourbon 👄 At first taste it's lovely, but then the rye takes over and it's still fairly hot for the proof. I'm guessing this stuff is just 4-6 year aged. If you love the rye notes, you won't find a better sipper under $80-$100, but if you like sweet oaky bourbon, this isn't sweet oaky bourbon 🏁 The finish is nice. It still exudes Buffalo Trace vibes, but again, slightly hot for the proof. Doesn't need an ice cube, but it lingers a bit.
