Excellent nose. Brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, clove, black licorice. Palate: more cinnamon spice and sweet notes gives way to a great medium finish. Little to no burn. I love this rye but it’s certainly not a traditional rye. If you love and appreciate finished whiskeys, you’ll love this. A bit expansive for what it is, but it’s still quite enjoyable. Not many other whiskeys like it
