The taste was great Tee.....Had a nice bark with a little heat to it but not too much, great flavor on the backside...you will see my name on your order form soon. Love the Fine Swine and Bovine Rub. I could have left them in the rub all week without getting salty. Next time I think I may do a 50/50 mix of Fine Swine and Bacon Savor to see how happy that makes my taste buds.
