Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye Distiller's Edition 92 Proof

Nose: Intense dill, peaches, vanilla and light hay / dirt. Aniseed and dill merge into a rye bread scent. Very light chocolate and apple nose. Taste: Very thin and watery open of dirty hay that slowly devolves into heavy rye spice and caramel with a bright dill and menthol finish. Water brings everything out. Light toffee and caramel covered peaches with mint and dill with the dirty hay note buried towards the end and a spicy finish. Maybe needs more time in the bottle but kinda underwhelming at least for my tastes. Would probably be a good cocktail base.

Flaviar Advent, Day 2

Honey. Sweet fruit. Carmel.

Not for me. Weird sweetness.

Flaviar Advent Calendar: funk, cereal, grass. Taste is better with mild sweetness, spicy, pepper, overwhelming cereal/grain. Don't need to retry this one

Nice rye. Spice is mitigated and fruit, mostly prune, comes through strongly.

First Sniff has strong fruit and honey notes. First taste has notes of homey and light cinnamon spice lingering in my tongue
