Nose features grass, fennel, freshly milled rye grain, honey, oregano, thyme, pumpernickel bread, caramel, melon, and pine. Ethanol a little intrusive at times. Nicely complex. Palate is spicy and herbaceous, which comes as no shock. Big black pepper notes along with vanilla, caramel, mint, and a hint of leafy herb from the nose (at gunpoint I’d say oregano) Finish bring some welcome sweetness in the form of graham cracker and chocolate (where did THAT come from?) The rye spice from the palate turns into a chili pepper vibe. Peppermint in there as well. Mouthfeel is deliciously chewy. Pretty much what I want of out of a rye; with nearly equal parts sweet, spicy, and herbal. I believe I paid $83 for this which I feel is fair. Very solid.
