I was so excited to try this rye. I’ve been really loving ryes lately and many, many have said this was good. The nose was delicious. Sweet, can smell the rye and almost like a fruity smell, dried fruit almost. Apricot bomb to the palate! This was so shocking to taste but for me, not overpowering at all. Very sweet but the rye made it delicious. What’s weird is that I don’t even like apricots. My wife tries to get me to eat them and I usually don’t like them. This drink though is going to make me rethink that. Some vanilla and syrup towards the end which gets me to the finish. The finish was even better than I expected. Apricots continued through with a maple twist but the taste just kept lingering. Really enjoyed this bottle. Overall, I would and will buy a bottle for my shelf. I need this to show others and break up the nights with something truly unique and delicious. Definitely worth the try!!
