Neat. Neck pour. Okay, I love Batch 1 and then came across a DEPs single barrel today. So single barrel, store pick, heavy toasted finished MGP Rye? Steal my heart. On the nose, this single barrel is definitely more stereotypical MGP rye. Decent amount of dill up front that was not present on Batch 1. Lots of cinnamon roll goodness too. Sweet, doughy, covered and smothered in sweet cream icing. Very very peppery. It’s interesting because the sticker says “Heavy Toast” but I remember more of the second barrel influence on Batch 1. This is lightly toasted by comparison with only a hint of the toasted marshmallow. Fantastic mouth feel (it is 121 proof) and it lights up the tongue with flavor. Powdered sugar and maple syrup. Mid palate is stereotypical MGP Rye but then the back of the palate and finish is pure magic. The second barrel finishing comes in with this wave of great flavors. Toasted marshmallow, like the roasted marshmallow on the top of sweet potatoes. Then that cinnamon roll goodness lingers. Ah this is great stuff yet again. I may sway towards liking batch 1 more. I feel like this is more stereotypical MGP. If you like MGP Rye, you should definitely invest these Down Home single barrels.
