Nose: kettle corn, vanilla Palette: grainy up front, unlike the 86 proof version. Similar to a HH wheat. Mid palette has an herbal presence, not a strong rye, but oregano. Back end is more herbal, there are notes of oak, more so than tannins. There is an underlying sweetness to it. The 86 proof version is more approachable Adding some water really opens up the sweeter flavors.
