The nose starts off with some wonderful honey, apple and some citrus notes. The more you dive in you start to pick up some of the underlying floral and herbal notes from the rye. On the palate the sweet notes continue but then the pepper and spice notes start to take over. The mouth feel is thin, but not in an unpleasant way, almost silky. The only let down is the finish which ends quickly. Overall this is one of the most easy drinking ryes I've tried.
