Nose: reminds me of pancakes. That’s not a bad thing. Its maple, butter, Carmel and brown sugar. It’s probably the best smelling rye I’ve ever had. Palate: outstanding. All that spice and sweet are so well balanced. The finish goes on and on. It leaves your entire mouth coated in this delicious balanced dram. Overall: I’ve heard some say its too sweet. For my palate is a great balance. Fantastic pour
