Bourbon & Rye

[HuskyHawk]

Picked up an extra bottle of this yesterday, so opened this one. Blended bourbon in collaboration with a noted Japanese Whiskey blender. It’s very nice, smooth and easy. Not worth the normal price (I got it for $60).

Very nice. Probably a bit over priced, but tasty.

It’s their own distillate. Both the Bourbon and Rye are very good.

Enjoying this Kevin Hart anejo collaboration this weekend. Drinking it on the rocks with fresh squeezed orange and lime.

Smooth, smooth, smooth.

Visiting some friends in Miami this weekend. First time visiting Miami. Helped our hosts kill this last night. The rum finished rye is a great combo. For me it really had a strong winter spiced cake smell on the nose and flavor. First time trying this bourbon and I will be adding it to my shelf.

Funny was a bottle i gave away after a few pours. Was too sweet for me if i remember correctly as the bottle was their first release so it was a while back. . I know folks live it.

Definitely sweet with the rum cask finish.

I'll keep it on hand as a conversation drink for ryes that aren't spicy, how bourbon can be influenced by rum casks, and for bourbon sours.

I tried some neat and then put in a single ice cube. I line it on the rocks better.

Its a tasty pour but only now and then because its so sweet. I get tons of maple and butterscotch. I think they are using pretty " wet " casks too.

I can see the AE as a sweet after dinner sipper. I think I dismissed it because it didn’t have the spiciness I look for in a rye.

A friend just picked me up a bottle of the WT MK Beacon. I’ve generally liked all the other MK’s releases so I’m looking forward to trying this.

I have not opened the Voyage their rum finished release. Maybe because I didn’t love the sweetness of that on the AE rye.

I’m not usually a fan of finished, but as I stated before if I could find a few bottle of the MK oloroso finished a something palatable price wise it would be hard for me to not buy it.

Jefferson’s Reserve Cask Strength. Smoother than it’s 130 proof bottling. Lots of fruit flavor with caramel and oak. Local shop was selling for $58 which was only $4 more than the regular Reserve. Very nice bottle and seriously underpriced.
