General description

It's a great rye that is smooth while reminding me of a nice bourbon. I'm usually a neat guy but this is great cold too.

General description

A solid Rye. Probably best served in a cocktail. A heavy bourbon influence. Smooth and easy to drink. Typical BH.

General description

Good bang for the buck. Not too bad neat, may work good as a cocktail whiskey.

Nose

I got strong alcohol on the nose. Enough that I thought I may have wasted my money. Probably shouldn't have dove right in. lesson learned.

Palate

A pleasant surprise. I tasted very little alcohol, notes of orange and cinnamon, slight bit of oak.

Finish

Not much in the way of a big finish, it passed quick.
