A touch of rye is present, complemented by robust sweetness and vanilla on the finish. Smells like cookies. At 47.5% ABV, this spirit is perfectly balanced in sweetness, and I heartily endorse it. 8.75/10

This Rye significantly outperforms its price category and is one of the best value bourbons I've encountered in 2024. I'm eager to compare it blind against other more expensive rye whiskeys.
Leather, caramel, smoke, green apples. With air; cherries? Palate: forward, rich, somewhat rough, with air; sweet round finish with leather
All spice, as expected given the mash bill. Not very complex, but if you enjoy rye spice, this is the one.
I don't usually favor rye, but this one is great. Smooth. And for the price, it can't be beaten.
It starts with a great flavor, but the harsh finish makes it difficult to drink for an extended period.
