Nose - Soft floral, light vanilla, fresh baked rye bread, light sweet yeasty dough. Taste - Sweet fruity vanilla caramels on the front, orange zest, then kicks into this nice spicy cinnamon spice on the back palate as you swallow. Finish - Lingering light fruity oak, cinnamon heat, floral vanilla caramel sweet, faint sweet mint. Score - 83/100 Final Thoughts - This is a very interesting rye in that it didn't initially smell like a rye to me, but came out as more of a wheated bourbon due to it's softer, more floral nose. Not until it hits your tongue do you realize the softness is there, but there's also that rye bite that I think has been softened from all the years aging in the oak. It's very nice on the nose, palate, and finish as there's no off-putting flavors and the lower proof makes it infinitely sippable. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - Not another at the absurd prices, but at least I get a somewhat cool looking pewter topper?
