Nose: Sweet ethanol fruity Taste : vanilla, acetone quickly turning quickly to almond extract No burn. I have blinded this bottle several times against a variety of bottles of similar proof. This bottle always scores in the bottom third. I don’t know if it’s the flavor profile with the higher rye content but it just doesn’t hit the correct notes for me. This bottle lacks the discernible depth that I would expect from a 10 yr. I can drink it and it doesn’t taste bad, I just won’t buy it again.
