Nose begins with sweet maraschino cherries, heavy oak spices. Then opens to become beerish, almost hoppy with a touch of acetone. Astringent on the palate, sweet spices, mostly hot cinnamon, more cherry. Drying finish with some bitter wood. Mostly uninspiring, but a big thanks to the resplendent Pranay for the generous sample! Dry glass: soft green wood and a hint of powdered cocoa.

No worries Sir! You opened up a whole new world for me!
Pranay, I second that (Midwinter) - One on my favorites. Tough to find though, at least near me. Sampled YKY and found it unique. It appears, so far, no middle of the road on YKY, seeing the ratings/reviews.
Hey Davie, sorry your second rye wasn't as good. Hopefully I didn't turn you away from rye altogether! You gotta try the Midwinter ( cones out in winter time, around Christmas---that is amazing)
