Nose is cinnamon toast, entry is hot with spice, apples and notes of oak, followed by an oily dark chocolate, more wood, and brown sugar and more spice. The 100% rye mashbill allows nothing to get in the way of the rye and the 100 proof carries it well. I generally like rye whiskies but this is the first 100% rye I've had in a while and it is definitely different.
