Bottle has been open now since 10-15-2019 making it 7+ months. I understand the rye notes now but still has a unpleasant alchohol burn to my palate. Rateing will stay the same and will not be buying againg. Bottle states 6 years ,4 months old. Much to young and to much alchohol burn to be enjoyable to my palate at this time. ECBP blows this away by a huge margin along wit Old Forester 1910 and 1920
