***Be Careful there are 1 Yr old bottles of this on the shelves!*** My first bottle turned out to be aged stated on the back 1 Yr and wasn't good; it had a lot of young sharp heat. When I finally found another one that said aged 2 Yrs on the back label I decided to give it a second chance. I am glad to say the 2+ yr is much better and I am enjoying it. I am guessing they use wood staves to give this 95% MGP a lot of woodiness and set it apart from all the others. I taste good peach woodiness and nice amount of sweetness. It has a little extra heat, but I still enjoy sipping it neat. I may like this better than Bulliet. Redemption (and MGP of course) did a good job on this 2 Yr Rye - But make sure it is age stated 2 Yrs!
