At the same time, I was gifted with a bottle of "Yellow Rose" Rye from another Texas distiller. Impressive, with a full, rich flavor....
I tried the "1835" because they were practically giving it away at Spec's for less than $20 a bottle and I agree with every thing you said about it. Not disappointing exactly, but neither is it exceptional.

Going to have to give the Yellow Rose Rye a go, however. Bulleit Rye is my favorite lately, but you have to expand your horizons, or so they say.
