About this bottle

This bourbon, a single barrel selection from Glenns Creek Distilling, originates from a high-rye mash bill comprising 74% corn, 21% rye, and 5% barley. It matures in new, charred American oak before a finishing period with toasted staves. The proof varies with each bottling.

Suzette Manning 3.0

It's so dark it resembles aged rum. The palate features oak, leather, and a hint of sweetness. The alcohol is noticeable but not so intense that it's undrinkable. This is an interesting one – not complex, not terrible, but it's missing something. It just seems to fall apart somewhat on the finish.

Foster Newberry 4.5

A very potent bourbon with significant oak notes. Some smooth undertones help balance the extra rye and barrel-strength alcohol. Adding a bit of water or melting ice makes it easier to sip.

Reed Lennon 4.5

The higher rye content is noticeable, with heat and vanilla, finishing with caramel.

Ursula Alexander 4.5

Lovely dark hue. Smooth caramel and oak notes. Lingering finish. Outstanding!
