So @dubz480 gave this one a thumbs up and there was quite a conversation that ensued afterwards about the potential sourcing of this rye. Let me say after procuring a bottle of this I’m also a believer that there’s more than likely a little Dickel tickle in this one.
Slight wood, anise & baking spices on the nose, that is where the rye similarity ends for me. The body was a complete surprise and I think that’s where Dickel comes in. I’m no Tennessee whiskey expert but you can detect the limestone mineral similarity that exists here. The body is truly balanced for a young 3 yr old, traditional wood barrel notes with raspberries and baking spices, the finish is fruity and fun and lingers nicely... it’s the berries. Much sweeter than I expected in a rye but it is extremely approachable, completely different, non typical, barely qualified rye that is fun and different and definitely worth a try. This isn’t just lip service, it delivers a very unique rye experience and at this price I’ll keep it around.
...for the record I found the bottle packaging too hokey, then again I’m an Old Dude.

@OldDude Nice review on this one. Missing your wit, wisdom and reviews lately.
@dubz480 My age was showing in my critique of the bottle package. Their target demographic market may be slightly younger than I am LOL. So all you Old boomers... if you don’t like the bottle put it in a decanter, I did - LOL.
Glad you enjoyed it as well! For under $30 I think it's a nice and unique Rye! Bottle design is odd but I do dig the glass stopper! Cheers!
