This is an absolutely superb rye whiskey! The strong flavors, the notes are all there and wonderful, as delicious as all the reviews out there say it is. Rye whiskey lovers are in for a treat. However, I cannot say I find its original price tag justified; to be $20 above their 6-year Rye. I might have been more agreeable if it were only $10 above. The only reason I bought it was because it was on a closeout sale for half the price. If money is no concern, then I'd definitely say give this one a go.
