Tastes

Nose, butterscotch and ethanol Taste, sweet, like toffee and sugar syrup, with a lingering finish of rubbing alcohol

It's ok. It's a good sipper, but it has no character. It's a straight middle of the road rye, with the standard vanilla and dried fruit notes you would expect from about any rye or high-rye bourbon. It has come to my attention, that I had purchased that bottle at a steep discount below the normal retail price (usually $40+). Even at the price I paid, I wouldn't purchase it again, and definitely not at full retail.

Spicy, bready, a little sweet

Too sweet, very honey, not t a good whisky/flavor mix.
