Bulleit Rye (45%) - My first note on this rye was "two-dimensional." That's exactly the issue with it. It hits the core rye flavors well, kind of like how Bulleit bourbon hits the core high-rye bourbon flavors well. But everything is served up right away, without much development after that point. The nose is vanilla and oak, actually more like a bourbon than a rye. The palate is a classic rye, with strong spice, pepper, and some Capri Sun-esque sweetness. The finish is very crushed-red-pepper and black pepper spicy. It's not expensive, so it'd be a good cocktail mixer.
