Nose is oak, lemon. Vinegar. Pear. Bit of pickle. Perfume. Body is brine. Salt. The pear kicks back in. Floral notes as well. Finish is cream. Baking spices. Pear carries though. Baking powder. This is a harsh rye. Not one of my favorites in the rye category, not one of my favorites in the origins lineup. It’s fine, but unlike the bourbons, I think this is not good enough to be worth the $60 price tag.
