Nose: Rye, vanilla, and fruit Palate: A very rich cinnamon spice, followed by vanilla ice cream, and stone fruits Finish: Herbal mint with a nice medium-long finish that goes up into the top of my mouth into my nostrils A fantastic rye that really benefits from the ruby port finish as it gains some fruity, vanilla notes that makes this a very approachable dram even for those like me that typically don't drink rye. Indeed it's perfect for a cold winter night indoors.
