Nose: it’s smells like one of those subtlety sweet ryes. Vanilla, Carmel and barrel spices with that hint of sweetness. Palate: vanilla and Carmel with brown sugar and rye spices. It’s subtle and really good. Finish: it hangs around with out any sharp edges. A great sipper whiskey. Easy drinker. Overall: it’s good. It’s not remarkable but if you offered me a pour I’m not going to turn it down. A solid rye. I came back to it after a pour some months ago. I was presently surprised.
