On in the nose: heavy pine and floral aromas. Cinnamon on the palate along with light vanilla, spicy and rich with heavy rye, not overly oily or hot Hearty burn from the 108 proof that receeds quicky to sweetness on the finish. Not the most drinkable rye and not terribly balanced but a high level of complexity that keeps you thinking. I'm glad I snagged a bottle when able but not purturbed it's not readily available at all times.
