At first I need to correct yet another error in Distiller. Description says 45%, but it's 40 %. Even this picture says so. Back to the drink:
I love that fruity smell. Apple, pear and hint of cinnamon. Sweet, sweet baking. The taste is also nice, but little bit watery on the front. The undiluted product must be nice. But this is very gentle sipper. Sweet, fruity. And not really suitable for drinks and cocktails - it lacks the punch, the acidity and it just dissappear in any cocktail. It says "pre-prohibition" style, but it feels more "prohibition style" - take some nice whisky and water it down to make volume. That's sad, especially if the lingering taste profile is so nice. But try to guess it's rye in blind test, I dare you.

@Blackwater79 I googled it and found only review about it from US, I guess it's US market specific. Anyway, there in this case should be 2 records here - 40% 70cl as this one (by this picture) and 45% 75cl.
The bottle I have is 45% abv
