Interesting rye from start to finish. Ethanol and leather on the nose with a small hint of mint. Entry is Hot but mellows to a spearmint spice almost mouthwash like. Finish brings in a hint of oak and spice with the mint still at the forefront. Young whiskey at barrel strength so some of this I expected what I remain surprised at is the minty flavor. Nice pour at the price under 40 dollars but not yet fully refined as a must buy. 3.5 stars with the value. Love what Willett is doing because this is a unique expression of rye from what I have tried. Cheers!
