I have purchased this bottle 3 or 4 times already. It is usually on sale every couple of months at my local Spec's for $18 to $20 off of their MSRP. It is a delicious High Proof Bourbon
Bondstone Double Oak Rye
Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey at 100 Proof
Right away, sweet oak and rye spice fill the nose with caramel, vanilla, and a touch of cinnamon bark. Give it a minute and those layers start to unfold into dark cherry, toasted sugar, and cocoa.
On the palate, it’s a balance of sweet and spice and caramel drizzle meets cracked pepper, oak, and a subtle chocolate depth. The finish lingers long, warm with hints of orange peel and seasoned wood.
A well-crafted rye that shows how a thoughtful double-oak finish can add both richness and restraint.
What’s your favorite rye with a double-oak or secondary maturation twist?

Thanks for the new glen and hat!
Blue Note Honey Rye Cask 2025 release
"Honey Sweet Blues"
Blue Note Honey Rye Cask is made by first aging rye whiskey with a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley for at least four years then finishing it in barrels that were used to rye whiskey finish honey. The circle of rye life I guess!🤣
It is bottled at barrel Strength, coming in at 116.46 proof. I picked this up from @consumerdiscountwineliquor for
$64.
It is burnished copper in color and likely due to the honey, has great legs after a swirl in the glass.
On the nose sweet honey dominates along with notes of fruit, vanilla. It has a slight floral nose with marigold and wildflowers.
On the palate, it is rich and mouth coating and it follows the nose. It starts and carries to the finish swwet with honey, and pepper. At the mid palate it adds apricot jam and hints of spearmint.
The finish is long with sweet honey, pepper and oak. Adding water brings out more sweetness and apricot and fruit notes.
The swallow gives good hig evincing proof and is amplified by oak and rye spice. It is an awesome sipper.
For cocktails, we tried it in an old fashioned and a highball but it was truly great in an American Trilogy with Lairds 7 1/2 year Old brandy. We also paired it neat with light wrapper cigar. I went with a nice Oliva Connecticut reserve. Excellent!
Considering all this Blue Note Honey Rye Cask is 100% Blue Pig Approved!!! TREAT YOURSELF TO SOME SWEET HEAT!!! ...GO OUT AND PUT SOME MONEY ON THIS HONEY!...AND TELL EM MERX SENT YA!
Cheers and Good pouring!

I normally don’t reach for 4 Roses but after trying this Barrel Strength OBSO store pick it’s got me rethinking my decisions. I was very happy with the subtle spice and sweetness that comes through on the nose and palette very gentle flavors. In the past the 4 roses I’ve had were too spicy for me so this was definitely a nice surprise.
Very subtle rye spice and that’s not a word I normally use for rye spice. Great bottle add I will definitely be on the hunt for more 4 roses in the future
