Baking spice and fruit on the nose; Medicinal spice with cherry noteson the palate; Moderate and dry finish rather than sweet like Rittenhouse Rye. It tastes more like a high-rye bourbon, but at the price point ($16.95) it’s hard to beat. Should be a good mixer and a light sipper for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the rye pool. I would buy again at this price, but for a more solid 90 proof rye I would probably grab Woodford Reserve Rye.
