Uncorking- taste test against Michter's, Russell's 6yr, and Pikesville. Nose - compared to the others it's really full on the nose. More leather and grain. Richer. Taste - Oak and leather dance equal with the rye. Char and spice balance it out. Finish - is medium long with more sweetness and again leathery coming in. Hints of that stale barrel air in the end. Was my 1st pick of the set.
