A great showing from MGP, as expected. Good spicy notes, savoriness, and a touch of classic bourbon bring the whole package together very nicely. A good classic MGP high rye bourbon or rye is hard to beat and this is a prime example. Is it the best thing ever to lose your mind and over pay for? Not at all, but it is darn good bourbon.
