Sweet grass and peppery grain on the nose. 110 and a little hot without ice, but rich, spicy grain and mint, and vanilla oak and leather in the mouth. Clean smokey finish. Neat or with an ice cube, and great in a cocktail. 4.5 rate. 2023: the more I try this the more I'm impressed, even as the price climbs and availability falls. Now my rye of choice. Give it a 5!
