Being a fan of Scotch vs whiskey, especially not a fan of Bourbon, I am drawn to Rye Whiskey like a moth to a flame for unknown reasons. Fantastic aroma, and almost overwhelming taste, I have discovered this local Iowa Rye Whiskey has no competition as its a class of its own. I can't stop sniffing it, just like I can't stop sniffing Macallan 12. Completely different aroma, but equally addictive. A good burn and a pleasant aftertaste makes me crave more. A nice direction away from Scotch.
