N: spicy, evergreen, peppermint, toffee P: medium-dry and spicy, herbal, thin. Viscosity is lacking compared to most ryes and bourbons. F: average length, lingering rye spice I'm assuming that either the cask is a refill or the mashbill doesn't qualify for bourbon or rye, for this not to qualify as either. Rye is definitely what carries the nose and palate, with the dry herbal qualities. Because it doesn't commit one way or the other, I'm afraid the effect is a bit anemic. It's pleasant enough to sip, but it doesn't have the rich, vanilla dessert qualites of bourbon nor the more robust, complex spicy edge of good ryes.
