Quick sample review Nose - Berries over spicy rye. Rich, red berries all day here with christmas spice. Taste - A bit much alcohol note. Still huge body, big flavor, tones of spice, tones of vanilla, but then that berry and nice rye spice comes in. Bottom line this is a well made, really nice rye, but it has more spice than I care for with the levels of alcohol. Bottom line....wish it was another year or two older.
