Nose is unique with cereal grains, lemon pepper, musty cellar, sugar cookie, pumpernickel bread, and grassy rye in the vein of a field of fresh rye stalks. Ethanol next to nil. On the palate, much sweeter than the nose would indicate (thankfully) and there is a LOT going on here but the flavors are so rounded and well integrated that picking out individual notes is a bit of a challenge, but I’ll try; key lime, pancake batter, caramel, nutmeg, vanilla, cola nut, green apple, and a hint of ginger. If that sounds like a bizarre mix, it is. It’s also delicious. Finish is quite long for the proof and is a continuation of the palate with a slow morph into cinnamon, grains of paradise, cookie dough, and pear. Mild chocolate note after everything else fades. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy which is a real compliment. Jesus H, this is outstanding. A perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and herbal notes. I spent $94 on this and regret nothing. New Riff as a distillery is a total sleeper as their standard releases are substantially above average, and their limited releases are truly exceptional. Will seek a replacement when this one is gone.
