Nose: Carmel, vanilla a bit of ethanol brown sugar Palate: sweet notes on the tongue. Rye spice on the back of the palate finishing in a peppery note. This is not a dill rye. Finish: rye spice with sweetness. Overall: man this is so good. It’s not old scout smooth ambler cask strength rye good but what is. It’s solid and I went back for a second pour.
