Poured this in a glencairn and let it sit for a bit. The nose, whoa, talk about fruit! Super sweet and barely any rye spice I can find. Mainly sweet with anything from orange to cinnamon. The palate, oh man, this was not what I was expecting by no means. Talk about sweetness, brown sugar, more orange, fruit, and then continued cinnamon. This is not a rye or even a rye whiskey. What am I drinking? The finish continued the orange and sweet flavors. I never got the rye spice I normally get in any rye. This was so odd. After talking with the some buddies drinking this, there is port in this. Like poured in completely. This makes wayyyy more sense now because the port has dominated any flavor the rye ever had. Overall, no, I don’t like this as a rye. Now as like a wine cocktail, eh, okay, but not a whiskey. Just strange. Scale: 1
