Sweet floral nose. I don’t get rye whiskey unless I really focus and dig deep so right off the bat all i think is light pretty whiskey. Taste is sweet with a little vanilla and cinnamon. Wait a little and the spice shows up but its mild. I can’t stand Old No 7 Jack. I think its just terrible but this rye is a nice sipper. Won’t stand up to mixing but relaxing and sipping this neat would be nice.
