Nose: (4.0) Sweet honey and golden grahams smack you on the nose. You get honey and a bit of rye. Reminds me of a bowl of golden grahams with buttery rye toast on the side.
Palate: (4.5) Beautiful buttery sweetness. Reminds me of the halloween candy corns I ate as a kid without the waxy taste. Gives way to a spicy little kick that is not long lasting and then fades to bit o honey. For a finished spirit it is way cool. As a traditional rye, you might feel it is more a sipping rum then a rye.
Finish: (4.25) Finish is shorter with almost no alcohol bite at all. Brown sugar lingers on the palate, and is reminiscent of a cinnamon bun.
This is a way interesting offering. Either you will love it as a cool riff on rye, or hate it as more rum then whiskey. As for me.....I could drink it all day.
