Barrel 16B21U 51.5% ABV 103 proof Copper color. The nose has bubble gum, allspice, ground cinnamon, honey, faint anise and green tea. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied and hot. The palate has buckwheat honey, nutmeg, rye grass, spearmint leaf, cumin seed, and anise. The finish is long and dry, with raw cinnamon stick, fresh cut grass, and anise. Compares favorably with a Willett 4yr, but just a bit too much anise for me. Note: I tried this in a 50/50 bourye blend with the Wilderness Trail single barrel BiB bourbon and it is excellent. The bourbon seems to tame the spice of the rye, especially the anise note, while the baking spices shine and act to amplify the sweetness of the bourbon.
