I received a bottle of LeNell's Red Hook Rye from UPS yesterday. When Mark gets the information up, I will do a review.
I was lucky enough to be one of the people LeNell and Ben asked to come along and pick a barrel for her to bottle. It was a great day spent with Drew at Kentucky Bourbon Distillers and I remember picking a very nice rye. I personally do not care for a lot of wood dryness that tends to come from whiskey aged over 15 years. If I remember right, that is what sold me on this particular barrel - it had a nice balance of wood and other flavors. I am looking forward to opening the bottle and doing the review.
Thanks for sending the bottle LeNell. I hope you and Ben have a big hit on your hands that forces you to come to Kentucky often to pick more barrels. Have a good Holiday and thanks again for the bottle.
