First of all let this one breathe, I was in a rush and took a sip right away and took an ethanol burn on the nose then overly sweet apple on the palate. I walked away shaking my head for 10 minutes. Coming back to it the nose is nice rye spice and oak, it smells great! On the tongue though there is something off about this, it's oily to the point of being unnatural, like maybe too much glycerin was added. I tried to get some legs in my glencairn glass and they run really thick and oily. At this proof I would expect it to be thin and quick to evaporate on my tongue, but it really coats it and just settles till I swallow. And again with something unnatural... spice I get but it's more like candy cinnamon hearts. I don't know what to do with this one... I splashed it on some cola and it still wasn't super enjoyable. I guess maybe I could just smell it all day. At the price point a bit disappointed.
