I truly wished to appreciate this. I figured the rye alongside the wheat would be something unusual. Ultimately, the only things I detected were the rye's spice and the alcohol. It just did not work for me. Considering it costs $25, I can identify at least ten other whiskies I would rather purchase. It was not awful, but it just did not work for me.

It's thin and lacks flavor/complexity. It's sweet with a bit of spice (I think?). It's not bad at all for the price. Better and cheaper than Jack or Jim.
A great spicy addition to the standard Rebel we all enjoy, like a bayonet thrust with a hint of napalm at the end. 6/22/17.
Very sweet and quite spicy. It's excellent for sipping straight or in a mixed drink. Lacks depth, but it's an okay whiskey.
This was the limited production batch.
Purchased for under $23.00 - a great buy.
