Nose: Honey, vanilla, sweet, summer fruit Palate: Smoky, toasted, floral, dark fruit, gristy. Apple/grape juice. Slight bitterness, dill pickle, black pepper Finish: Short finish. Apple juice on the short finish. This is a good rye whiskey. Not as bad tempered as many ryes. Sweet, but tasty and uncomplicated. Easy drinking, but the short finish serves to make it a little forgettable.
