Being from Illinois I am biased and I’ve mentioned Whiskey Acres distillery (DeKalb Illinois) before. I’ve enjoyed all their stuff with their BIB Rye and 7 year old bourbon as standouts. They’ve been getting more attention as some of the online “pundits” are starting to take notice. But this Rye finished in Tojaki Barrels…!? Wow, this is one of the best drams I’ve had all year! All kinds of balanced flavors…equal parts rye spice, fruits, natural chocolate and a hint of earthy earl grey tea. Definitely would give finished single malt scotch fans pause to consider why they don’t drink more craft-distilled rye! 😀 Plus my wife likes it too…win win!
