Spicy and earthy rye on the nose. Sweet syrupy scent, roast nuts, marshmallow and marzipan. On the tongue, sweet initially, strong rye flavor, moderate oaky taste, toasted grain, burnt brown sugar, marshmallow, marzipan. Perhaps a hint of maple. It's got a long finish with oak, toasted wood and grain, still quite sweet. It's a bit sweet for my taste, but it's pleasantly drinkable. Good, but not integrated and balanced enough to be great.
