Nose: Pine and Mint are the two big things that come through. Vanilla and oak take a back seat but are slightky there. Palate: Nose translates almost identically, I do wish the flavors were a little more full. Not too complex. Finish: Fairly short and mouthfeel is thin. A decent mixer whisky. I dont think it stands up well enough in its own to sip. If you want the rye flavor i think its good and cheap enough for cocktails.
