Mike And Matt Taste Liar’s Bench Bottled-in-Bond Rye Whiskey

Liar’s Bench is rye whiskey from the Bear Wallow Distillery in Brown County, Indiana. I picked up this bottle when Matt and I visited Hard Truth Distillery and decided to stop at Bear Wallow Distillery on our way home. We tasted several of their whiskeys and I picked up several bottles to take home for review. This bonded rye whiskey has a mash bill of 55% rye, 35% corn and 10% malted barley. There is no age statement, but it is bonded whiskey, so it is at least four years old. Matt and I sat down to taste this whiskey the other day and here are our tasting notes.
