Nose is dill, sour lemon. Sugar. Jelly. Body is chocolate, cream. Roses. Grapefruit. If you think that sounds busy… yes. Finish is chocolate, baking spices. Caramel. Toffee dessert vibes. This is a tasty rye. It I’m being honest with myself, it lost marks for… flavor loudness? Is that a thing? I often criticize whiskeys that lack complexity, but this is different. It’s complex with good flavors, but it’s just a lot of sharp notes all at once. It feels like work to drink more than a couple of ounces, and I’m going to switch over to something easier now 😵‍💫
