NOSE3.5 Sugary cotton candy,sugar cookie with some strawberry icing. Twizzlers and hubba bubba gum PALATE 2.75 the multiple barrel finishes are overwhelming present, great finished flavors that steal the show instead of enhance the traditional rye flavors. Shaved coconut horchata lead way to the bubble gum and strawberry icing sugar cookie from the nose. FINISH 2.25 Medium, little thin. While the flavor on the nose and palate are robust and punchy the finish leaves a bit to be desired. The flavor kinda dies out while you still feel the heat from the 118 proof. VALUE 2.5 A wildly finished rye for 75. One that i might not consistently reach for but is a bottle that will always be in consideration when i want something tropical and or different profiled to standard bourbon and ryes.
