Nose:
Caramel and vanilla blend with a big dose of warm spices—cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Wood.
Palate:

Comments:
Pretty much as expected, this is a very sippable high-rye bourbon—it’s spicy enough, in fact, that I could mistake it for Bulleit Rye, or one of the many other labels MGP rye is sold under. In other words, there’s nothing unexpected here, but I’d happily sip it neat, paired with a creamy dessert, or in a Manhattan. If you’re going to drink MGP, why not get it straight from the source?
