Fortunate enough to have a 2oz pour of this with some good friends who know A LOT about bourbon and know a lot of people in the industry. When seeing the 2019 I was told this was one of the best years besides the 2014 so he had to buy me a pour. For reference my friend has almost every year of all the BTAC’s in his home bar along with every other “unicorn” you can think of. This was my first foray into the BTAC and I honestly don’t think I’ll ever have a rye as good as this again. The first sip was absolutely HEAVEN! Sweet candy-like with no burn. Spicy rye sits on the palette for quite some time before making me want to go back for more. I don’t how it’s possible to make a whiskey with this proof taste so good. I will most likely never see a bottle of this for retail but if I did I’d buy it in a second. As much as I loved this whiskey, it has ruined all other ryes for me.
