I currently have three bottles of Pugachev Vanilla Rye that I am trying to trade. Feel free to message me offers.
I have had all variants. So Royale is aged in the standard bourbon barrels for 8 months and then transferred to brandy barrels. VR is aged in the standard bourbon barrels for 8 months and then transferred to rye whiskey barrels. Overall i personally like the VR better. Royale has a little more heat to it because it is 18.4% and VR is 15.5%
