This blend of straight rye whiskies combines the ubiquitous 2-year-old, 95% rye mash from LDI/MGP (Redemption, Bulleit, Willett, Templeton, Dickel) with a 16-year-old, 53% rye/37% corn mash from Barton Distillery. The extra corn sweetness and age from the Barton whiskey temper some of the more aggressive aspects of the LDI rye, resulting in a complex drink with botanical notes of anise, juniper and mint combining with more traditional rye spices like clove, cinnamon and nutmeg, with an underlying backbone of spiced rose honey and cocoa.
