A friend provided this for us to try tonight, offering an opportunity to explore something different. The label provides minimal details, stating only that it's a rye whiskey produced and bottled in Dallas, Texas. The aroma offered little beyond damp grass or hay, which I consider underdeveloped rye characteristics. The palate was much the same. I can drink it, but I won't seek it out again.

Possesses a gentle aroma. My inaugural rye. A dry conclusion with a mild sting. Lingering earthy notes on the palate.
Green tea and honey on the nose. Light, sweet, with a raw rye spice. The finish fades quickly.
A quite enjoyable rye from Texas. It has vanilla smoothness with hints of spice.
Subtle oak presence, akin to scotch but with a touch of rye spice.
Possesses a pleasant spicy caramel taste. There's a slight burn that dissipates quickly.
