Nose on the first pour from the bottle is a fruity ethanol. Appears viscous in the glass, but mouthfeel is a bit thinner than expected. Not bad, and not thin, just thinner than it looks. Nice mellow flavors on the palate. Long, spicy rye finish. 8/1/22 - Nose seems sweeter than the first go round, otherwise nothing new to report. Very easy going sipper, and makes a fantastic Old Fashioned. I’d like to try the Special Release version of this one someday.
