A solid daily drinker rye. As many note, it is herbal and even grassy. I call it the camomile tea of whiskey. No strong flavors, but there's no lack of flavor. A gentle alcohol astrigency on the nose, gentle because it is tempered by aloe, after which I pick up a light layer of sweet raw almond and spice. The palate doesn't drag its feet---it gives you what its got in quick order, a lovely herbal bouquet. That compact taste profile gives it a reliable simplicity that's hard to dislike. Light radish and bay leaf with a sprinkle of pepper hovers above the soft spice finish, which infuses itself into a sugar cookie as it fades. You set your head back, and realize you're quite pleased.
