I was really excited when I first picked this up and couldn’t wait to try it. I got it home and really did not like it, I am trying again after siting for 3 months. On the noise I get oak and lots of rye spice, a hint of mint, and some grainy notes. On the palate there is short bust of sweetness, followed by rye spices that are very light, then I get oak and some heat from the rye, also I get that grain/ floral/ earthy notes on the finish. Certainly less sharp then when I first tried it but overall I am not sure this will rate as high for me as some others. I have limited rye experience so I need to get used to the spice and other notes you get from this grain.
