Great stuff, can't believe this is only 4 years old ! Big & Bold ! On the nose you get a sweet scent with cinnamon & wood. The taste has lots of spice typical of a rye whiskey and some nice cinnamon, caramel and deep oak flavors. Goes down hot (add a little water to tame it down if preferred) while fruit and spice linger on the tongue with some smoke at the end. This taste was a wax seal top Willet and since I've had the more recent one (without the wax) to compare I must say that I would rate the regural one 4 instead of a 5 stars.
