Ok so this gets a lot of bad reviews all over the web. People say its harsh for 80proof and bottom shelf swill. I find it very enjoyable for what it is. Nose gives caramel, buttered cornbread and a bit of maraschino cherry but its a mild delivery. Has thin legs and mouth feel but is soft on the tongue. Palate has some oak,raw cinnamon spice and lite vanilla with minimal heat. Again its not bold but pleasant nonetheless. Finish is short to medium with dry oak and cinnamon lingering. There is basically no burn. I think the rough edges typical of this price point have been sanded away by the wheat influence. Its not complex at all but fairly balanced for the $12 I paid. As others have said its an easy drinker and no need for ice or water. Not much here for the experienced cask strength pro but good for beginners and nice change of pace for the rest. For the money its a good buy and in my area low cost wheaters are hard to come by 74/100 good low cost daily driver

Havent seen RY100 yet in Texas
Nice review! For only a couple bucks more, the RY100 is the best value you'll find for a wheated mash bill. It's very good!
