The mouth feel was almost creamy, milky feeling which was definitely unusual, but, not gonna lie, pretty nice. I had heard great things about this bottle and in that initial moment I was in full agreement. However, as the palate develops I am just walloped by the spiciness typical of rye but to the max, like Red Hots on rye toast. And, I never chose rye toast. So, in the end, I’m not a huge fan.
