The nose is a rye with some sweetness to it; some fruity & light floral notes The palate has a distinctive “rye” vibe, and these other notes, coupled with rye grasses, gives it a variable “funkiness” as the taste lingers on. The finish gives me a somewhat delayed aftertaste that, once again to me & my palate, resurrected this hard yo describe “funkiness”, and left me with an aftertaste I did NOT like or ebjoy…I felt compelled to eviscerate it with a much better rye whiskey or a quality bourbon to re-calibrate my tastebuds and mouthfeel to “normality! Definitely NOT on my “Good List” ; I won’t buy it again!
