Was in the mood for a Rye today, and this was the first Rye I grabbed. I've heard good things about it, and I have to say, they are true. The nose starts with an intense smell of mint-chocolate sweets, some cloves and a very interesting layer of aloe vera. Fresh and spicy, unlike any other Rye I had before. I don't get any of that chocolate in the taste, but there is still a lot of that fresh and spicy mint, a nice satisfying base layer of roasted brown sugar, some anise and other rye spices and quite a bit of heat. Not very sweet, but still enjoyable. The finish is medium long and rather on the spicy side, again typical for Rye in my expierence. It is a bit more expensive than for example Bulleit Rye, but it's worth the extra money. I'm curious how the Double Rye will compare to this.
