Heavy grassy notes and rye spice, strawberry jam, baked apples and cider that kinda reminds me of a calvados brandy, rich buttery caramel, creamy cereal grains, mellowed oak tannins, thick vanilla cake frosting, star anise, spearmint, corn pops cereal, Dutch cocoa, berry compote. A classic rye by everyone's account, but I think the simplicity is the main selling point. All of the flavors are well pronounced and nicely balanced. Although it's NAS, I think the softness of the oak tannins shows it's well aged. A great introduction to the world of rye even if it is barely legal.
