This is a very good Rye whiskey. It is easy on the nose and smooth in the mouth. I bought this because a friend of mine said I needed a Rye to complete my home bar years ago. When I tried this I was blown away by the smoothness of it. When I made an Old Fashioned it was great. My favorite inexpensive Rye is still Bullet Rye but this one is worth my time and space at my bar.
