Aroma - man.. maybe the most underwhelming rye aroma to date. Getting cinnamon, vanilla, dark berries, slight honey note That’s all. Taste - Follows the nose but it is definitely better. There’s a bit more rye profile here on the palate and the finish is more on the medium-long side. Lots of cocoa powder on the finish as well. The alcohol presence is nice. Lacks complexity but nice balance of flavors. Overall- Balance and flavor is nice, but the price point ($70-$80) leaves a lot to be desired to be honest. Recommendation - try before you buy
