Loving what the barrel and high rye content contribute to this bourbon on the nose and taste. For me, it’s a two-trick pony: rye spice and barrel notes—that’s all I’m getting. I bought this as a comparator to Eagle Rare’s low rye mash bill, also aged at 10 years. As much as I love the rye notes and how they can balance the sweetness of the corn in this, I actually prefer Eagle Rare. This is not at all a bad bourbon, though, and I would love to try this in a flight compared to their no age statement bourbon and rye.
