Raided Score: 93WhiskyCast By Mark Gillespie The finish has hints of licorice and brown sugar with spicy touches of cinnamon and rye, and is nice and long. Outstanding. Read Full Review Raided Score: 92Breaking Bourbon By Eric Don’t miss a chance at grabbing a bottle and taking your time sipping it. This is a great rye that excels as a sipping rye where its virtues are fully on display. Read Full Review Raided Score: 85Whisky Advocate By John Hansell Lingering dried spice and polished oak on the finish provide balance to the sweeter notes. Read Full Review Raided Score: 88The Whiskey Jug By Josh Peters It has plenty of spice and balancing sweetness to give it the kind of kick you look for in a rye but smoothes out into a something you want to drink over and over with the sweetness. Read Full Review Raided Score: 85Whiskey Consensus By Landon Shields The finish is medium to long and has a nice mint note that appears as the finish begins to fade. If you are a fan of Rye Whiskey, this is a bottle you will want on your bar! Read Full Review Raided Score: 92Drinkhacker By Christopher Null My sample bottle was emptied well before my experience of this whiskey was, a rarity in a world where so many spirits wear their character on their sleeve. Read Full Review Raided Score: 85The Daily Pour By t8ke Sugar and spice combo, lots of nougat and caramel sweetness with brown sugar on the side. The spice kicks in after and blends really well.

House Review
Nose:
Molasses. Caramel and vanilla followed by some light rye spice. This nose is surprisingly large and full bodied.
Taste:
Sugar and spice combo, lots of nougat and caramel sweetness with brown sugar on the side. The spice kicks in after and blends really well.
Finish:
Shorter than the single barrel but also less hot. Its still fairly hot but its delicious sugar bomb. Long and sweet.
Overall:
This is definitely a barely legal rye given the uncharacteristic sweetness. It drinks more like a bourbon. Its not a bad thing, its just interesting.
