Jeff Arnett you sir are a genius, A GENIUS... never mind the argument between Rye vs Tenn. Whiskey. 70% rye, 18% corn and 12% malt @ 47 abv,, turns out to be the secret setting, clearly you found the sweet spot. The nose gives me a distinct bourbon feel due to the extra sweetness and yet still says "rye". A solid warm cinnamon bread and honey are apparent.
This rye has an incredible smoothness on the tongue with a sweet round profile and soft approach, a pleasing mouthful, it's like finding Jane Russell in a soft black velvet bath robe sitting on your bed. With that, "you want me, you know you want me, and you know there's not a DAMN THING you can do about it" look on her face.
This is going to the Top Shelf Rye list for me, also not coincidentally my top JD product, so sorry it took me this long to get around to trying it, but occasionally good things do come to those who wait. Lynchburg has finally done it.

i just saw that there's a limited release BP version of this coming out this month. My experience with the JD SiB BP bourbon was that it was a lot better than the regular SiB, so there's a chance that rye will be even better than this one :)
OK, seeing recent extremely positive notes on this and having found an exceptional bottle of the SiB BP bourbon (well, Tennessee whiskey) myself, I think I'll need to pick up a bottle.
This - has promise - and happens to be on sale nearby... will become the first Jack product I’ve purchased since legal drinking age if its still on the shelf in a day or two
