Cool, I think it's great when you can pick out distinct flavor notes. Did you like it?
I gave my brother a Bowman Rye for Christmas, made in Virginia, in part because I procrastinated and had to pick one from the limited selection of a Virginia ABC store. Had a chance to try it last weekend and really liked it. I found it to be very earthy in flavor, much more so than the other ryes I've tasted. Here are the maker's notes:
Yeah. I'm happy I bought the bottle. Its much different than the other bottles I have/had. Rendezvous, Makers, Knob Creek, Bulleit, and probably the 5 or so other things I have tried recently.
I bought it without tasting it just because I was in the area.
