18th Street Rye Whiskey

I was not a fan. Having tasted this alongside other similarly priced whiskies, it lacks depth, which is understandable given its age. I really wanted to like it since it's local, but I just couldn't find any redeeming qualities, especially in a crowded market at the $50 price point. This should cost $25 at most, and I feel foolish for having paid $20 a year ago (I believe this is about 2.5 years old).

Tastes strongly of fig and cranberry. I'm guessing it's around 2 years old. Quite impressive for a brewery (now also a distillery) to produce a decent product that isn't from MGP, as far as I know. I'd honestly consider buying a second bottle.

Contains a hint of cherry. Very peppery. Would be excellent in an old fashioned.
