nose. waltut and baking spice. figs, dried fruit. very pleasant very earthy. alcohol present by obscured. taste. nutty with mild spice. malty tones come. earth lingers. good taste all in all. greedy for more afterburn, stronger hug. overall. slowly this has crept to become my favorite rye, al0ng with overholt bonded, just edging out Dickle. it's affordable and drinks bold yet approachable. drink up. i always tear off the label.
