Guess no gym tonight, but this is a nice dram!
Nose - so 21 and 36% rye, you KNOW you're getting SPICE. And this this does just that, that rye MGP spice, but there's a huge hit of insane sweetness. It's oddly dusty. Plenty of fruity notes but no distinct fruit profile. The earthy vegetable and just intense caramel and vanilla and then shockingly low but still wonderful oak. Baking spices come off as it opens up and really becomes more enjoyable. MGP showcase for sure.
Taste - So I have to compare this briefly to the other repeals and I'll just leave it with, this is a SWEET BOMB. This has spearmint, apple spices, cinnamon, vanilla, and god this is great. So complex and rich and just goes on for days. That said it's not the batch III.
Just wonderful wonderful bourbon. I'm doing a 3.25, it's an awesome mix of flavors but for now 3.25. I think the batch III is noticeably better and while this is really nice, and it's a must buy in the bourbon market at 85 bucks, it's not a 150-200 dollar scotch that would normally be in those higher scores range.

Knocking this down to a 3.0. It's just lacking.
