I was lucky enough to get a bottle of this when it first came out. I've had one other bottle since then. That one ended up at my parents house for family gatherings, etc. It's an excellent Rye. Very smooth.
But I honestly feel like there's too much hype surrounding it. Maybe it's because I live in Iowa, but it's good...but I don't think it's good enough to put yourself on a waiting list for 6 months, or pay twice the price for it (both of which I've seen).
I also don't believe the Al Capone story either. Not that there is any way to prove or disprove it.
Basically, a good, solid Rye. But don't kill yourself or break the bank in trying to get it.
