Nose - First note that comes across is banana bread. Farmers market type fresh baked Rye bread. Very mellow earthy peat. The palate is a very peaty Rye. Old leather / musty barn. Grassy. Very mild spice. Super LONG finish. Very oily that resonates on the tongue several minutes after gone. Dry-er finish than others... weird with the oily presence. Very very good. Worth the 250 price tag for a "special occasion" drinker.
