Didn’t know I was about to taste a run of the mill rye that has about 1/4 the complexity of crown rye when I laid down 40 cool ones PLUS TIP for 1oz of this stuff- I turned around looking for the bar owner to perhaps look into his eyes with the message of "dude?! did you refill this bottle with Rittenhouse or something? Lame.. but who knows- bad batch, year, bottle perhaps? All in all I was disappointed. I love buffalo trace, and the saz/buffalo nose is there... but this release is not worth your hard earned $$- Look else wear.
