Only serious rye fans need apply here. High rye ryes aged less than a year have a very distinctive flavor and this one has it in abundance. Think of a young Lot 40. Even at 90 proof, there’s still a ton of flavor going on. For my NC friends, Dad’s Hat isn’t available in our ABC system so go out and get a bottle of Doc Porter Rye. It’s made in a similar way and has a very similar flavor.
