Blind taste test - bought 50 mL bottles at Blarney Stone on McKinley Rd. Color is a very, very light yellow. Scent is very subtle with a soft touch of rye spice. Taste is also subtle - rye spice with hint of mint and annise. Overall, unimpressive. Upon reveal, some vanillans come through at the end. Surprised by the 95% rye mash bill - not very spicy
