General description

Incredible, the widest variety of subtle flavors,that I have experienced in a bourbon or rye. I enjoy it as much as Midwinters Night Dram and it is about half of the price and much more available. GREAT WHISKEY!

General description

Complex whisky with lots of sweet notes. Root beer comes through big on the palate for me. Really good whisky.

Nose

Dill, nutmeg, sweet, almond, picked up mint after reading reviews

Palate

Spicy, cherry, wood, root beer, sweet, vanilla, pretty smooth before the spice jumps in, medium bodied, slight mint

Finish

Dried cherries, root beer note fizzles out

General description

Nice, light to medium body pleasing flavorful rye. Dill at first then mint with some aeration. Some spice, some oak, medium long finish but not quite rich or complex.

General description

It's rye so expect the spiciness, nose is hot with mint and anise (which I hate) with more anise with some cloves and cereal in the taste. Finish is too long.

General description

supposedly the upscale version of their Double Rye!, it's a bit of a let down. in a blind tasting, Double wins, yet is also the less expensive of the two.

General description

My first rye. Very excellent and unique, a great spice and a good sweetness. Good with a little ice or for cocktails, but seeing as it's good quality I prefer neat with a dash of water. Highly recommended!
