Laurie Self 4.0

A decent whiskey, sampled in Charleston, SC. Choose the one with ginger over this if you can (it is not listed here).

Augustine Worrell 4.0

The end was pleasant. Pecan came through. I was not expecting a rye; I did not detect much spice.

Mack Milton 3.0

The aroma was smoky. I enjoyed the flavor. It has a slight peatiness and a smooth finish overall. Rated 3.5/5.

Myrna Gary 5.0

As a recent admirer of rye, this delivers spice and boldness in all the correct ways.

Kermit Rand 5.0

A perfect harmony of spice and sweetness.

Omari Ventura 1.5

Excessive bite.
