Very nice. Smooth. Complex, but not overbearing. Sweet char that lasts through the end. Moderate and bright anise/menthol/hay follows closely behind. The rye fades and light cocoa and oak make an appearance with sweet oak tannins taking you through the medium long finish. If you love bourbon and rye, it's delicious, if you dislike rye, you'll still probably dislike it. If you're a rye purist, you'll say you hate it and drink it when no one is watching
