Nose of strong rye, clove, oak, peach, marshmallow, leather, grass and mint. Spicy on the palate, with vanilla, rye, oak, clove, orange, apple and cherry. I’ve gone back and forth between 3.75 and 4.0, but ultimately I think I’ll go with 4.25 for the richness of the flavors. This seems like an approachable rye for the unsure, but it’s rich and quite delicious at whatever level.
