This year, I'm thankful for booze! OK, I'm thankful for booze every year...and not because I spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws. They're great folks, and they were pouring this lovely stuff tonight. While a weak 4 stars from me, this is a pleasant, well balanced rye. There are more stereotypical rye notes on the nose than the palate - cinnamon Red Hots, baking spice, dill abound on the nose, but these are all tamed down and swirled with chocolate and light caramel on the palate...and then those spices come back around at the finish. I don't know that it fully scratches the rye itch for me, but it's a solid "late evening with my wife's family" dram. Happy Thanksgiving!
