In another Sunday Night Fight upset, Old Overholt handily defeated the overwhelming favorite Rittenhouse Rye in the Battle of the Bottled-in-Bond Ryes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Round 1 saw a typical reintroduction of flavors and aromas of each rye to the judges. Rittenhouse lacked complexity on the nose with a bit of sweetness and some fruit notes. On the palate it came out with a heavy sweetness with red fruits and berries along with some orange citrus. The finish lingered with a bit of maple creeping in. Old Overholt came in with strong notes of grain, banana, and a bit of green wood/herbs on the nose. The palate was spice forward followed by toasted bread/nuttiness and a bit of sweet brown sugar, banana and orchard fruit. The finish was very long and introduced more spies, caramel, and cooked corn pudding.
• Round 2 had the nose on Rittenhouse opening up to reveal some smokiness and some nougat/snickers bar aromas and the strong berry aromas fading more toward the back. The palate remained the same, sweet and pleasant with caramels and maintaining a steady low spiciness. The finish took a turn for the worse with some astringent and mineral flavors moving forward and overtaking the other flavors. Old Overholt remained steady with some of the grain aromas receding and more toasted nuts and fruit coming forward in the nose. The palate intensified with a good dose of spices followed by a hit of brown sugar. The finish took off and really stuck around. At this point Mikey and I were leaning heavily in one direction and a 3rd round wasn’t really necessary. However we gave it another go just to be sure of where we were headed (sympathy round😢).
• Round 3 crystalized our opinions and after a quick taste of each contender our scorecards went like this ...
Mikey — Nose: Rittenhouse - Palate: Overholt - Finish: Overholt.
Chris — Nose: Overholt - Palate: Overholt - Finish: Overholt
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏆Old Overholt with the clear and relatively easy victory finishing 5-1 on the scorecards over Rittenhouse.

What do you think about the result of this Sunday Night Fight?
Today's whiskey and vinyl pairing is @bardstownbourboncompany Fusion Series No. 1 with Magnificent City Instrumentals by @officialrjd2.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's a cold, gloomy, and brooding kind of Sunday here in Chicago. On days like this I tend to want some moody tunes and a flavorful pour with a little kick to it. Magnificent City Instrumentals and Fusion No. 1 deliver perfectly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The album is definitley something you can put on, pour yourself a drink and get down to some thinking ... but it’s also got a good groove to it that works great as a background soundtrack to a get together with friends and family. My favorite tracks are “Fire”, a steady and funky song that can get your head bobbing, and Sunday Mystery, a slow burn of a song perfect for sitting and sipping.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Bardstown Bourbon Company Fusion No. 1 Bourbon is a masterful blend of young BBCo high rye and wheated Bourbons with a high rye 11-year-old Bourbon sourced from Kentucky. It comes in at a nice and spicy 98.9 proof and delivers a pleasant drinking experience with sweet aromas of berries and marshmallows followed by peanuts, baking spices, and a hint of cocoa powder. On the palate there is a strong dose of cinnamon sugar that continues as a steady cinnamon heat throughout your entire mouth. After the initial dose of cinnamon sugar there are notes of toasted nuts, caramel, vanilla frosting, and some doughy/biscuit flavors. It has a slightly dry, medium-length finish. A truly enjoyable pour that invites you to sit and ponder it.
