Closing Thoughts:
Old Rickhouse Rye Finished in French Oak barrels is right up my alley for its palate. When I first tried this bottle, I was in love. Anything with candied orange slices throws me right back to my childhood with my dad traveling on vacation. This bottle is easy to drink, I truly enjoy it and would buy again if I had the opportunity.
