Why I chose it: Building the 2024 calendar, I had heard good things about these limited-edition releases. Last year we tried the 4-year version because it was attainable. It proved compelling, and I kept hearing great things about this bottle. My 2025 Kentucky distillery trip finally gave me the chance to procure a couple of these 11-year bottles. I've seen people compare it to Michter's 10-year Rye, callng it more attainable, affordable gem.
