Beautiful nose. Like a bouquet of caramel, vanilla and honey.
On the palate, it sipped lower than its proof. Loads of spice, light vanilla and toffee sweetness.
Finished with dark chocolate, rye spice, and cherries.
Water made it much more aggressive, so add it if you’re looking to get punched.
Overall a very solid rye

55% abv (110 proof)
Nose: vanilla, sugar cookie and creamy rye spice. Almost dessert like. Touch of ginger and a hint of mint in the background.
Palate: caramel and big rye spice dominate; vanilla and brown sugar compliment on the development; hint of tart apple at the end; full, soft and mouth-coating texture.
Finish: medium length, nearly perfect balance of rye spice and bourbon notes; juicy fruit and spearmint and hint of cocoa pop up on the tail end.
Value: $45-55 bucks American. Worth it.
Final thoughts: this is simply a great rye whiskey that fits all moods. The rye spice is robust but not overpowering, leaving room for the barrel influence to shine. A dash or two of water balances this pour even further, making it enjoyable for high proof lovers as well as rye novices.
