Nose- citrusy nose. I get lemongrass, almost like a bit of orange slice candy, and sweet tart. Very interesting nose for a rye.
Palate- Lemon tart, floral bouquet- perhaps carnations? Powdered sugar and a slight bit of mint.
Finish- quicker finish and if anything a sweet tart and perhaps green tea on the end.
Overall- very interesting rye here. Not what you would expect. Usually younger ryes are spicy and have a good amount of dill and/or mint. This lends itself more toward citrus, almost like a pleasant lemongrass on the nose and continues with those floral notes. The finish is a bit ho- hum, but this grabbed my interest gaining points for being really unique.
