Bluegrass Distillers High Rye Bourbon (100 Proof)
100 proof 3–4 years Bourbon Bluegrass Distillers Lexington, KY 75% yellow corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley

Rich Werther's Original butterscotch; very sweet and mellow with no ethanol burn despite the proof

Butterscotch flavor with rich mouthfeel on the sides of the tongue; darker fruit notes including cherry, apple, and plum in the mid-palate; little spice on the back end; less sweet than wheated expressions

Spice carries to the finish but not overpowering; moderate dryness from lack of sweetness rather than tannins

Recommended
A well-crafted rye bourbon with excellent balance, butterscotch notes, and subtle spice that appeals to those seeking a less sweet profile.
