I have had a few Jefferson tastes with mixed reviews. This one has gotten some pretty rave reviews so when I saw one on the shelf I gave it a go. Nose is a very nice fresh baked rye with a sweet edge from the cognac finish. First sip is something different for a rye. Very little bite for a rye. Cinnamon comes through in bunches in this pour with some very sweet edges. There is a soft cinnamon burn that comes on mid sip that never gets very strong, but delivers a slow warming finish. Overall I am really impressed with this glass. I know this will not be everyone's jam and purists will scream blasphemy at a finished whiskey. They can walk on by the shelf with this one, but for the rest of us this is a great pour. Grab one if you get the chance!
