I was afraid of that. It is very young. Hopefully they will age it longer.

I spoke with the owner's son once. Right now it's aged 1 yr (hence the name). But there are plans of longer aging. He didn't say how long though.

Checking in about the new Northern Rye Crown Royal. I love rye. I love Crown. I just don't think it holds a candle to Bulleit Rye. It's worth a shot, I guess.

I picked some of the Crown Harvest Rye on Sunday. It's good, probably won't go with it again though. At almost $30 id rather go with the Willett or smooth ambler

Yeah, LA 1 the time I tried it, it was almost not drinkable. I really wanted to like it, but I wish them the best moving forward. With that said, here is the obligatory pic:

It's a good $50 bottle...it's hot and has a burn, since it's in the 120 proof range. It requires ice or at least a splash or two.

I usually just drink Maker's here, so just glad for a better offering to mix things up.
