2 - 2.5 ⭐️. Couldn’t quite bring myself to give it a 3. So so for a straight rye whiskey. Nose and palate a bit on the ethanol side. Slight bite in mid-palate and finish. Definitely came across like a bottom shelf bargain Rye but I’ve had better for about same price point (enter Ezra Brooks Rye [Green label] & Rittenhouse Rye). Maybe my expectations were set too high 😊
