I tasted this American Rye neat at 46%abv in the afternoon. I could not find details on the post-treatment of this whiskey. The nose is full of black licorice/anise, dill, dill, and lots of dill for me. With a drop of water, the spices part into a big splash of red apples. The palate opens up more spices and a long leathery note with vanilla that lingers. Sometimes the dill weed spice blooms into an almost astringent dill pickle. The finish is nice and medium-long, however, and pleasant.
