I've been enjoying these personally since Act 6 which released in 2018, and have had the pleasure of sipping on every act since then. Down to brass tacks: this is a blend of straight rye whiskeys finished in French oak and port barrels.That port note is distinct, delicious, and plays well against some of the sharper aspects of the rye, particularly MGP’s hallmark dill flavor. g.
