Here’s a Rye that hits a fine balance point between mellow and spicy. The extended barrel time puts a bright vanilla note on top of the aroma profile, with the spice mix lurking underneath, waiting to burst forth on the palate with full throttle brightness and warmth without burn. The rye notes linger pleasantly in a round overall impression that keeps me coming back sip after sip. From a single barrel, and clearly a well selected one. Bravo! A Platinum Award winner and Best Rye at the 2024 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition. 95
