Tasting Notes

A bonded 100-proof high-rye bourbon for the price of a mixer, and one of the great bargains on the shelf. Cleaner and less overwhelming than the 114 while keeping the peppery rye backbone.

Nose

rye spice, vanilla, citrus

Palate

pepper, caramel, herbs, light oak

Finish

medium, spicy, clean

Best enjoyed neat, old-fashioned, cocktails.
