It's exactly what I've been waiting for -- Bulleit Rye at a higher proof. It's fantastic neat, and although I've yet to mix it, I know it will make a fantastic cocktail. Honestly, I wish they'd release this stuff at 120-130 proof to allow for more options, but it's certainly delicious at 110.Ryan Murphyhttp://occlimb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-35566952619172936962011-12-05T21:59:36.379-08:002011-12-05T21:59:36.379-08:00Dah! *smacks head*

I didn't care much for Redemption Rye or Bulleit Rye -- I found them too high-pitched and rough, both of them screaming "mix me", especially Redemption. But I very much liked the Wilett 3yo. I appreciated too the cask strength. You taste a drop and let it bloom in your mouth. I'm itching to open the next bottle! Have you tried its successor, the Willet 4yo? I'm curious if the extra year made a difference...Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-11748197013246337522011-12-02T21:35:50.559-08:002011-12-02T21:35:50.559-08:00Thanks Sam...USA, USA, USA!
