On the nose apple berry scone, honey cinnamon roll, banana Runts, caraway seed, oak. Reminds me of something Old Forester. The palate is honey sweet with oaky spice. Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg go into the finish. Oaky apple juice make an appearance late as well. I think it's better than Old Forester Rye, but I'm not sure it's enough better to justify a significant price difference.
