118 proof 6 years Rye Bardstown Bourbon Company Bardstown, KY 95.5% rye
Nose

Smoky with barrel char present, darker fruits, jammy characteristics

Palate

Nice texture, root beer-ish, sassafras notes, spicy cinnamon that sits on the tongue, hits the whole palate at once

Finish

Cinnamon chalk candy note, long-lasting spice that doesn't fade quickly

Noteworthy
A well-balanced rye with excellent texture and a persistent spicy finish that drinks slightly younger than its age due to the secondary barrel finishing.
