First pour and it’s enjoyable. The “high rye” it claims does come through but it’s a little thin. It’s a good flavor and I look forward to refining my tasting of this as I work on this bottle. *2nd bottle… I’ve come to enjoy this as a super solid offering for the price. You can still get 1.75L at $40 which comes to around $18 for typical 750mL bottle. Hard to beat at that price.
