Daniel
Daniel,
This or Knobs Creek are the basis of an old fashioned.
 
Terry
Terry,
Nice clean tasting rye. Good on it's own or in an old fashion.
 
Greg
Greg,
Not a huge rye fan but I love this and super in a mixed drink
 
Matthew
Matthew,
A great rye, one of my favorites!
 
Robert
Robert,
Starts off strong and spicy. But with some ice, it mellows out to a delightfully subtle sweet taste that makes it very enjoyable.
 
Dave
Dave,
Thought that I would like this a bit more.
 
Heather
Heather,
This is always in my freezer!! Not a day without

It is my “house label”. Great flavor for the price.

Brian,
Perfect for an Old Fashioned.

Decent rye burbon
 
Charles
Charles,
Not big on the Ryes but this ones a bit too much for me.
 
Kirk
Kirk,
Same great Bulleit flavor... Just smoother!
 
Ben
Ben,
Excellent whiskey. This is a great go-to when you are looking for something easy to drink at a solid price
 
Eric
Eric,
Same flavor profile as the usual, but much smoother
 
Joseph
Joseph,
It’s decent over ice; the bouquet is fruity and it’s pretty smooth with an ever so slight bite. I wouldn’t say no to buying another bottle.
 
Andrew
Andrew,
I strongly disagree with the description of a clean finish- I found it to be quite harsh. Only useful for mixing.
 
Joshua
Joshua,
a good rye but 12 years of aging didn’t do much to help it stand out so i dont think it was worth the price. bullits stardard rye is about as are others for half the price
 
Barry
Barry,
Super harsh, has to be mixed to be able to enjoy. A real cowboy whiskey.
 
Mike
Mike,
Good with coke, mixers
 
Michael
Michael,
Rye worth trying, the right mix of taste and price.
 
Aaron
Aaron,
Perfectly fine when just wanting a bourbon while multi-tasking...but nothing at all noteworthy about it.
 
Nick
Nick,
my every day rye
 
Curtis
Curtis,
Decent rye but not spectacular
 
Thomas
Thomas,
Not a fan of this one. I really like there bourbon as an everyday option but was dissatisfied with this rye.
 
Greg
Greg,
Solid value
 
Brian
Brian,
It’s one of my favorite ryes. Very smooth. I like the spice from the rye but it’s balanced nicely with some sweetness.
 
Willow
Willow,
Formerly a fave to mix, I refuse to buy it now after the family disinherited their daughter because she’s a lesbian.
 
Brendan
Brendan,
Solid rye. Oak tastes fresh. I prefer to mix it rather than sip it neat. I do think there are better options out there at this price point (or lower) such as James Oliver and Whistlepig Piggyback.
 
Sarah
Sarah,
One of the best Whiskeys I have tasted. Always have a bottle in my collection.
 
Gail
Gail,

Excellent straight rye whiskey. No ice needed in this tasty treat.

Very tasty rye. Flavor spiral is spot on. Will definitely keep a bottle of this on hand from now on.
 
Jacy
Jacy,
This is pretty decent as a neat rye, but it's my go-to for a rye Old Fashioned!
 
Sean
Sean,
Heavy flavor. Rich petty finish.
 
Marc
Marc,
Like everyone else says, this is the "go-to" rye whiskey. Oakey, sweet and smooth with a tiny bite right at the end which is good for mixing or straight.
 
Attila
Attila,
My go to rye. Mix with ginger ale and a lime twist.
