I absolutely love this Rye. It is a fantastic treat. Nice dancing on the tounge with hard hitting proof. Hints of spicy vanilla and saddle leather. But, I really want to reccomend it. I really do. However at $90, its not that substantially better than its peers in the Rye category to be worth the extra $30-45. As a treat or celebratory bottle? Do it. Savor it. Enjoy it. As a stock Rye entry? Needs work. As my wife said, "cute bottle!". As as I said, "better damm be".
