Nose: baking spice, spearmint Palate: spearmint cucumbers that are almost pickles in a good way, sips below the proof Finish: warm, short hug (like from your bro, not your mom) Overall: Great blended rye that tastes more complex that the 5yr+ age statement. This is a hitter. Also, that wasn’t a mom joke. Alsox2, I just read the tasting notes on the bottle and I get no fruit or brown sugar. I said what I said.
