On the nose i get notes of butterscotch and a sweetness undertone (like a cane sugar). Fisrt sip has all the indicators of a true rye. Black pepper, clove, char, and a slight oak feel. Full mouth burn and at 100 proof this one has all the feels. Ice cube doesnt change profile but slows the black pepper. After ice its soft at first but intensity and burn returns quickly. Good but not great for me. Im not big into full burn whiskey but i know there are those who love it.
