$?
High rye
Nose
Dark cherry, raisin, deeper fruit-forward profile with pronounced cherry character.

Cherry pipe tobacco, leather, spicy cinnamon kick, lingering depth.
Overall Score
4.3 / 5
A substantially richer and more complex expression than modern 101, with pronounced dark fruit, tobacco, and leather notes that suggest exceptional bottle age and lower barrel entry proof.
