A seriously good whiskey that has opened my eyes to quality rye. Normally I shy away from the spice and prefer wheated bourbons but this one was different. A super well balanced flavor bomb that intrigued at every sip.
Nose: Creme Brule, vanilla, and pastry. A wonderful nose that doesnt hint of alcohol.
Palate: Loads of caramel and sweet vanilla. Gives way to a flan like custard taste and then the spice comes in.
Finish: Bakery spices balanced with rye. Burn is hot but not overly done.
I tried neat in glen cairn and then chilled in fridge for 15 minutes with 1 small cube of ice made it even better.

Just picked this one up for $57. Excited to taste it. Cheers for the recommendation again
@PBMichiganWolverine done and I just scored a Nikka from the Barrel for $60! Good day all around!
@dubz480 sounds good—send me your address—-I’ll probably open it up in midJan. I’m at [email protected]
@PBMichiganWolverine it was indeed! that would be awesome. I'll send something special in return!
@dubz480. I can’t recall—was it you that I was typing about a Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel? I just got one, courtesy of a cousin coming home from the UK. I’ll gladly send over a pour when I open it
