About this bottle

Dark Horse Distillery, situated in Lenexa, KS, commenced operations in 2010. They utilize a 500-gallon copper hybrid still, nicknamed “Chester Copperpot,” for their whiskey production. This offering is 100% rye, with the name signifying America's renewed connection to its native spirit, which nearly vanished after Prohibition.

Lakisha Bustamante 4.0

Uses 30 gallon Casks, not 15. Lenexa is 15 minutes from downtown KC and well within the Kansas City Metropolitan area. Thank you for the impartial reviews. You should focus on the facts in the product description section. A name is just a name. If you object to our use of "Reserve," let your audience decide. Don't create a negative impression for everyone using your App from the start. I appreciate the concept of what you're doing here, but it appears your creators have some bias. I'm giving your App 1 star due to a lack of leadership and industry professionalism.

Anaya Diamond 3.0

Smells like cherry vanilla, with cinnamon hitting you first. It's a bit hot initially, with not much oak flavor, which is understandable for a two-year-old rye. Very smooth.

Tierra Nilson 2.0

Not a favorite. Dry, spicy, and hot. That's all I can say.
