Aroma: very mild aroma overall; damp & musty closet smell (not completely in a bad way); faint hints of maple in the background
Palate: extremely mild and lightly sweet, though with pleasantly syrupy mouthfeel; first taste gave surprisingly strong strawberry notes, which faded in subsequent sips
Finish: very smooth; straightforward, sugar-sweet finish with few complex flavors
Overall: though the grain bill is 51% rye, it feels like the 49% corn is the dominant player, giving much straightforward sweetness and smoothness; very little characteristic "rye" flavor or spice; I wouldn't buy it for sipping but could be a great cocktail mixer in something with some spice to balance its sweetness and berry-adjacency
