Dad's Hat Rye Batch 1 6-year-old is an American rye whiskey bottled at a very high strength of 64.0% ABV. Rye whiskey is generally known for a spicier, more peppery profile than many bourbons, and extra age can add deeper oak influence and greater concentration.
For a novice drinker, expect a bold and assertive style rather than something soft or light. The high proof means it may show more heat and intensity, so a small splash of water can help open it up.
