I’ll start by saying this is an excellent rye. Very herbaceous with notes of green pepper, dill, oregano, rosemary. This is nicely offset with sweet notes of caramel and vanilla. Little licorice in between. Ends with some sweet oak, cherry cola and lingering menthol heat that sits in your chest. Tows the line really well between sweet and earthy notes. Reminds me a lot of Willett 4 year. Based on my first pour of this stuff, I’d go Willett all day long given the availability and price difference between the two.
