Nose is decently pungent, with rye grains, cinnamon, lemongrass, lime, hay, and nutmeg. On the palate we find honeyed whole wheat bread, the cinnamon and nutmeg from the nose, some tea leaf, citrus and…not much else. Kind of flat and simplistic. Flavors don’t pack much punch or depth. Finish is straight black pepper; man, is this peppery. After the pepper fades, there is a hint of mint. Finish is long but so one-dimensional that it’s almost annoying. Mouthfeel leans toward the thin side. This is a very standard to sub-standard rye, and the weakest of the Kosher line by far. It doesn’t suck, but there’s just nothing at all remarkable about it. It’s not particularly herbaceous, nor has the delicious warm snickerdoodle sweetness found in some ryes. I paid $70 because I can never find a damned bottle, but even at a retail of $40 I’d be hard pressed to recommend. Drink and forget.
