TASTING NOTE: Nose: big, weighty: rye with attitude. From the green tea of the VOB to the seriously over-stewed stuff. In a herd of any 30 random bourbons, this one would stand out by nose alone. Taste: puckering and mouthwatering, the ryes go ballistic especially on the spice front. With salivation levels on full blast it is sometimes hard to pick out the more delicate custard-cream and apple nuances. Finish: the oak kicks in at the death with a shot of licorice and coffee. But the ryes refuse to be downbeaten. … Fabulously different and wholly adorable. Score: 92.5 (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2010) Price $ 49.95
