Poured neat, its everything the reg JD rye is but cranked up and FAR better. Nose is succulent banana bread, doughy maple rye with baking spice and rich sweet barrel notes. Has a gourmet circus peanuts vibe if there is such a thing. Palate continues the theme with juicy fruit gum, baked maple pastry with rye bread dough, candied nuts, baking spice and just general yumminess( the whole exceeds the sum of its parts). Finish is looong and fulfilling banana char, cinnamon and yeasty ryedough with allspice and sweet wood . I cant imagine how good a barrel proof of this juice would be. JD can get it done when they want to, the Single Barrel Barrel proof and this are MONSTERS.........Top shelf elite rye in class with Pikesville(need to run side by side)......91/100.......buy it you will be very pleased

@Ctrexman @BDanner I have to agree on the SiB. I thought that the regular JD rye was OK, so I'll need to give this a try because the SiB was night and day vs regular Jack, and then the BP was way better than that. It's a shame that they don't have a BP offering of this.
...and I'm a big fan of JD's standard rye, so I'm sure this is really good.
The Single Barrel JD has shown/reminded me that they do indeed know what they are doing.
Nice review. Pikesville was my favorite rye I tried in 2019. Looking forward to your side by side!
