Tasted Tasted as Day 1 of the 2025 Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, the ABV, and the type of barrel/cask used for maturation, followed by a reveal at 9PM. This store pick from Gordon's Wine & Spirits (Waltham, MA) has a unique mash bill of 95% rye, 5% malted rye.
