Bulleit 95 Rye

A very good rye if not as complex as I would personally like. If you like them a bit shallow and uncomplicated this one is for you.

Tumblin’Dice Straight Rye Whiskey Curated Small Batch Barrel Proof 116.4 Proof

Type: Barrel Proof, Straight, Straight Rye

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.
