A straight rye whiskey, this spirit is crafted using a mash bill of rye and malted barley. It undergoes pot distillation and is aged for a minimum of three years in new, charred American oak before being bottled at 90 proof.

The aroma has strong notes of new car smell. I concur with another reviewer who mentioned glue. This carries into the mouth with a sensation similar to a brand new office chair just unwrapped. It's fitting for a product from Grand Rapids, but not so much for a whiskey.
Served neat in a rocks glass at the distillery's tasting room. The aroma offered vanilla and ginger, evoking a Christmas cake. The flavor was predominantly clove, cinnamon, and citrus. The finish was clean and slightly tannic.
Wins medals, but something about the taste isn't my thing. Maybe it's truly rye flavor, maybe glue... First taste, will see how it is the second time around.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
