Wild Turkey Master's Keep Cornerstone Rye
Rye — Kentucky, USA

Takes an age and a drop of water to open up and reveal itself as a gently spicy rye with a soft creamy substrate. The nose crackles to a metronomic tempo. It’s not my favorite rye by a long stretch — I prefer the MGP and Alberta profiles, and this year’s Michter’s 10 is a more complex take on a lower rye mash bill. But I’d happily drink it at someone else’s expense.

@Richard-ModernDrinking nice!! Looking forward to that Michter’s on Friday. I’ll send you a list of what I have pulled from the vault.
@PBMichiganWolverine They probably are but then there are never that many contenders. The Michter’s is on the menu for our tasting on Friday. I’ve had a sip but won’t post a review before you get to try it.
I was hoping more from this. Everything I saw online led me to think that this and the Michter’s 10 would be this year’s standout ryes
