100 proof Between 3 and 4 years Bourbon Bluegrass Distillers Lexington, KY 75% yellow corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley
Nose

Butterscotch (Werther's Original), very sweet and mellow without ethanol burn

Palate

Rich butterscotch flavor, spice on the back end, darker fruit character with cherry, apple, and plum notes, mouth feel across the sides of the tongue bringing spice to back end without overpowering

Finish

Clove notes typical of rye bourbon, spice-driven finish, drying effect without tannins or bitterness

Recommended
A well-balanced high-rye bourbon with rich butterscotch notes and integrated spice that separates it from wheated expressions.
