Driftless Glen Single Barrel Cask Strength Straight Rye

This one has a lot of spice. The nose has caramel, apple, berry, and lemon. It's sweet and spicy. It presents a much darker flavor profile. Strong spices, pepper, dark berry, nuts, dark caramel, and it finishes with a solid oak note. It has a very thick mouthfeel. This is a high-proof bourbon that is well above average.

Excellent rye. This bottle is the distiller's Select from the distillery. It tastes like a concentrated rye/bourbon. Sweet and deep flavors, lacking the peppery bite of some ryes. If you can find it, purchase it!

Smell: licorice, herbs, and earth, apple or dried fruit, toffee or butterscotch, and burnt brown sugar Taste: dark chocolate, sweet licorice, spice, toffee or butterscotch, and strong rye flavor

Deeply colored, it seems youthful on the nose, yet the palate is full of toasted barrel notes. It drinks lighter than its stated proof. A distinctive and pleasing experience.

A very intense burn. The smell is very sweet, with notes of caramel and chocolate. The taste is dominated by the burn, with hints of leather, apple, lemon, and spearmint.

Quite good. A selection from the R/Bourbon group, bottled at 122 proof.
