Castle & Key Single Barrel Restoration Rye (barrel 4301)

I believe I prefer the regular Restoration Rye (2023 batch 2) from this single barrel, but it's close. The blended version offers more complexity and better flavor, a testament to the blender's skill. This barrel isn't bad, though; it just slightly lacks in flavor. A decent offering with subtle pepper notes. It's a bit hotter, but worth the $75.
