Golden amber body. Mildly spiced nose has a spearmint-like cooling feel built in...otherwise, feels a bit outdoorsy...underlying sweetness. Flavor has a tea-like herbalness among the spice...more minty notes...some brown sugar. Not overly complex, and the flavor is not long-lasting . Easy drinking in the sense that it drinks light on the palate...not watery, but on the borderline. Used to love this...now its more of a like, but when I'm not looking for a complex rye, this is a good choice. Admittedly there are much better choices for cocktails as this does not have the depth/spice of other straight ryes...
