This expression is notably fiery and emphasizes rye. It's quite dry, featuring an intriguing, gentle smokiness reminiscent of a wood fire rather than charred wood. It's unusual, distinctive, and packed with taste, leaving a prolonged finish that invites further enjoyment. What truly stands out is the exceptional smoothness of this bottling. Despite its 105 proof, one anticipates a burn, yet there is none to be found. Exceptionally well-crafted and delicious. This spirit embodies the soul of southern BBQ like no other bourbon has achieved. Highly recommended!

This is hands-down the finest rye I’ve sampled. Despite a high proof, it’s remarkably smooth and possesses a deep richness.
