Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Straight Rye

Nose of burnt brown sugar, vanilla but also some fruitier green apple notes. Contrary to most I don't find the nose that spicy. Palate is spicier with anise, cinnamon and a touch of clove, with still some apple aftertaste. Not too astringent. Definitely on the sweeter end of the rye spectrum

Relatively sweet for a rye. A nice dram, but missing some of the spicy kick I was hoping for. Then again, had it after a dram of Stagg Jr., so my palate might have been wrecked.
