NULU Toasted Single Barrel Rye

I love a great rye that has that dark dru bourbon taste and get a little burn in the throat in a good way. But toasting it i dont know. You taste like a buttery, fruitty(grapy) taste going in but as soon as it hits the thoat the peppery toasted touch burns that taste away and goes down as burnt ash. Just not that smooth.

Drank really hot, hard to get the finish through the ethanol
