This is a good solid rye whiskey. I have tried many at this price point and it is a good addition to my bar. It has a traditional spicey taste and smell and it mixes well with everything I have used it for. It makes a good but not great Old Fashioned and Manhatten. In this price point, it is my third favorite Rye with the first being Bullet Rye and the second being Jack Daniels Straight Rye. I have this in my bar when I have space for it.
