The typewritten label goes so well...Awesome photo! The typewritten label goes so well with the Declaration of Independence underneath - oh, 1776, now I get it!<br /> <br />"The history of the present Head of Diageo Whisky Outreach is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations..."<br /><br />For a change I seemed to have liked this better than you:<br />"Better than the standard 1776 rye, with more age and flavor. At times and on a good night it reminds me of the Willetts and Smooth Amblers, but most of the time it tastes young and a little feisty. Would not buy again. 79pts".<br /><br />Comparing it to the standard 50% 1776 (73pts) clearly elevated it. However, I remember it to be worse than my notes indicate, I must have scored it on a good night. I ended up blending most of the two 1776's with some HW Double Rye, I think, with only moderate success, and downloading it on a party.Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.com
