Single barrel 2019 “Happy’s W&S” store pick. 92 proof. Really enjoying this. Closest representation of Angel’s Envy finished rye I’ve ever had. All creamy vanilla and cinnamon. Not sure how the single barrel and slightly upped proof is vs the standard 86 proof expression, but this is impressive.
Clear, sweet, lactose-y cereal note on the nose - leftover milk after a bowl of Cinnamon Life.
A nicely-spiced rye but silky smooth. Sweet Demerara with a creamy, oily body, then Big Red cinnamon that lasts and lasts. Delightful tingle on the finish for a solid minute.
Not overly complex, but seems to have a target flavor profile and nails it. Extremely impressed for a craft distiller. I might go buy a few for the bunker.

@Ye-old-fridge Agreed. Cedar Ridge does a good job but I was very impressed by this bottle.
Good synopsis of this one. The tingle you mentioned is impressive and lasting with this whiskey for some reason.
