Nose is very nice .. diffing deep can get a tea note whixh is always a great note for me. Taste is also very pleasant and would say its a strong 3.25 rating and could go to a 3.5. For a wheated puts out a fair amount of spice and really is a an easy 90 proofer. I do enjoy the standard Green River product more as it gives off that very nice raison note and juat and overall better 90 proof pour. Did this in a wheated blind and it blew away Weller SR so well worth a pickup.
