A truly excellent whiskey bottled at the right time for its high points on aging and taste profile rather than waiting for an arbitrary older age to command more money at the price of quality.
This is not your fathers rye, maybe not even your grandfathers rye depending on their age. This is your great grandfathers pre-Prohibition full on rye.
I’d hold this up against almost any other rye out there and NO ONE gives that much quality for the money. Love to see an older version of this come out.
A damn fine old school bourbon for the money.
