Nose: Sweet with Rye Spice. Vanilla with pepper and Pine Palate: A nice blend of rye spice and traditional bourbon flavors like vanilla, oak. I would describe it as bourbon friendly rye. Finish: Medium-Short with a slightly viscous mouthfeel. Rye spice delivers a fairly nice finish. Overall a solid whisky. Bourbon friendky that i think is perfect for cocktails. Can be drunk on its own but probably not my first choice
