One of my favorite rye's (after having tried 50+ bourbons and ryes). I would likely much prefer Rendezvous Rye, once I get a chance to try it, as being much better aged and more complex. That said, this pairs well with everything, sweet or otherwise, with its very strong, spicy, and slightly sweet rye flavor. However, it does lack complexity, likely being only 2 years in age. However, the Rye-Bourbon blend version of this - Son of Bourye - seems even spicier for some reason, but without the Rye sweetness, so I prefer Double Rye to that.
