New Riff Kentucky Straight Rye Bottled In Bond

Color: Dark bronze Nose: Rye, dark chocolate, lemon pepper, orange peel, oak, mint, and black licorice. Palate: Pepper, spicy, charred oak, orange peel, vanilla, and of course rye. The spice starts off as a cinnamon spice then within a few seconds the palate gets hit with strong rye spice. Finish: Long, rye spice, charred oak and fading vanilla.

There's an off-flavor - like soap, or nail polish - dominating here. The finish has the familiar rye spiciness, but the overall taste misses for me.
