Aroma - quite nice. Brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, honey, mint. Taste- this one packs a ton of heat and the first sip puts hair on your chest. Massive oak, rye and vanilla right up front. Second sip and moving forward nuances of citrus, winter green. The viscosity is awesome… almost sticky. Long finish. Overall - this one is not for the weak… massively bold, not overly complex. Great rye offering… excellent at its price point. Bolder than Rare Breed Rye but not quite as much spice as Willet 4 Year
