Leadslingers Fighting Spirit Rye v. Lockwood Straight Rye, Texas Rye Tourney Bracket2, StabtheDragon

2023-08-07 This is the second match-up for Bracket2 of the Texas Rye Whiskey Tournament. There are some rule changes this time around, and two whiskeys have had to be dropped from the competition. in Bracket1 I was looking for good, clean, rye flavor. This time I am simply looking for which whiskey I prefer the best. Texas whiskeys can have a strong charred oak flavor that I love, or, if aged in a climate- controlled warehouse, they can avoid that heavy char flavor. Which one do I like the most? Tonight's matchup surprised me with how close it was because I thought I had a clear favorite going into the match. Glass #1 was Leadslingers and glass #2 was Lockwood.
