Nose: a big whiff of spearmint, black pepper, honey and hints of vanilla - nice classic rye beginning Palate: a nice tart grannies Smith apple hits right away, immediately followed by pepper spice and spearmint - kind of thin mouthfeel, but still coats the mouth nicely Finish: you gets hints of orange peel and vanilla with some more of that spice - quick but pleasant Overall: I feel like this pretty classic and will not disappoint rye fans out there. That said, I think this has a fairly low rye percentage compared to others out there (somewhere in the 51-55% range)
