It has a nice rich sea spray smell, which is represented nicely on the palate. There is a definite chocolate richness to it that brings in sweetness. The spiciness does come through in a substantiald way, but it doesn't totally overwhelm the rest of the drink. The mineral flavor is very present too, but it merges nicely with the sea spray. It tastes fairly to h and mature despite being sweet. There are a few things going on here, though I wouldn't call it terribly complex. This would be a great choice for mixing but would also be a fine sipper. It barely even tastes like rye, but some rounded fruit comes out - apples, plums, and apricots. The present flavors are really good and the net result is well balanced and a little bit complex. There are some deficiencies with the mineral elements and it could use some more richness, but this is a really good drink. There's something a little nutty in here like peanuts or maybe cashews. Aged a bit more,this could be excellent.
