Tasting Notes

👁️ Appearance

Light amber, decent legs.

👃 Nose

Not getting too much (a little stuffed up), a little sweet and sour. A little vanilla.

👅 Palate

A little thin, but not low proof - maybe proofed down though. Still light sweet and sour notes. Big Kentucky hug. Light caramel. Light char.

👁️ Blind Tasting Impressions

Simple bourbon flavors. Nothing offensive here, but also nothing special.

🎭 Post-Reveal Thoughts (Revealed Dec 08, 2025)

I wouldn't have guessed that this was a 100% rye, but I can get a little bit of that now.
