An exceptionally complex sipper that combines bold American rye with toasted, nutty French oak. Boss Ryeway is a new take on Ryeway to Heaven matured in WhistlePig The Boss Hog Armagnac barrels. It’s expertly blended with a small selection of bourbon and rye barrel-aged Ryeway for balance. Dry but incredibly full-bodied, with oak tannins and spice notes, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience. Enjoy life now, or store cold.

December 2018 canning date, so I guess this one's 2019. Lots of it has mellowed out, but still plenty of boss hog notes on the finish, and the Armagnac notes are thicccc too. Gnarly good but body and upfront flavor definitely showing age.

Can shared at Alex's birthday. Pours a deep brown with a finger of beige foam that lingers. Big sweet malt, oak, caramel, plum and prune aromas on the nose. More oak on the palate and some light peppered caramel notes. Lingering whiskey and pepper on the finish with dried caramel. Not too sweet.
