FWIW, I am not usually a RYE fan. I find most of them to be good when I do NOT want a sweet bourbon- but this is a different RYE and just a different flavor. I tried it twice in as many days. I love it. Very unique flavor profile. Smells like a very light pine and then maple syrup. First taste is a little strange but then as I sip it I love it more and more. The Rye plus the rum makes a very unique flavor. BTW, I had the Basil Hayden rum RYE and it was disgusting. Basil Hayden had rum added. The Angel’s Envy Rye should be tried.
