Tastes like a hybrid of bourbon and an unpeated scotch. I would have guessed a much higher amount of malted barley than 6 %. The rye peeks through on the nose more than the palate. Very light in the mouth, and the flavors of wood and vanilla and malt dance around distinctly if not in great unison. I think I'll like this more as I drink it, but for now I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it.
