Very solid rye for the money. Nose contains vanilla, molasses, baking spices and oak. The palate is very pleasant, especially for a reasonably priced rye. Vanilla and baking spices stick around, with notes of cinnamon, oak, licorice, and a savory finish (fresh rye bread?) that carries into the finish. The finish itself isn't particularly impressive but a nice combo of vanilla and savory flavors linger. This might benefit if bottled at a higher proof point, but overall its a great sipper or cocktail base at a very attractive price point.
