What to expect
A Kentucky rye (95% rye, 5% malted barley) aged in American oak, then in French oak that held Napa Cabernet and Duke bourbon, then conditioned again in used Duke 5-year bourbon barrels. The page lists both 5 and 9 years, so age is left blank; the producer lists 98 proof and notes cherry, oak, almond and vanilla.
Expected notes: Cherry, Fresh oak, Almond, Vanilla, Rye spice.
