113.2 Proof 56.6%ABV Barrell #934 John’s Beverage Edition #1 2023 Aroma - A blend of corn and berries with a Red Hots spice. Significant bready notes are present, along with a hint of black licorice. Nothing particularly exciting. Taste - A pleasing combination of heat and spice (cinnamon, rye spice) balanced by sweetness (caramel corn, a touch of vanilla). Overall - I regret not being able to offer a more detailed assessment, as this whiskey lacks depth. While the balance is good, the mouthfeel is thin, and the finish is at best medium, with a noticeable alcohol presence. At $60, the price is too high for the experience. Considering the many robust whiskeys available in this price range, it struggles to compete. It drinks more like a $40-$45 bottle.

An ABC Store single barrel pick at 113.2 proof. The mash bill is 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% barley. It's spicy with a high rye content and some burn, but it's sweet and smooths out after a few minutes. Good lingering finish.
Excellent, a superior pour. Selected: 2023 Proof: 109.1 Barrel No.: 1105 60% Corn, 36% Rye, 4% Barley
Spicy and hot initially, but it mellows with time and lingers. Excellent flavors on the back palate.
The aroma is great, but the taste is just okay. I won't purchase it again.
