For the price, this is a great rye. First of all, cherry is the predominant flavor i get in this. I get a lot of cherry notes when nosing this. Again, lots of cherry notes in the flavor. There is some woodiness, and there is a healthy serving of floral and spicy rye notes. I get a nice dose of vanilla as well. The finish is short and sweet with a medicinal cherry chloraseptic taste, which I personally love.
