I feel like I've been saying this a lot lately, but this is another solid offering from Buffalo Trace. These guys never seem to let me down. I get heavy notes of apple cider on the nose, which carries through to the palate and the finish. I find that very enjoyable, especially at this time of year. I also get a strong black pepper note on the palate, and maybe a little cinnamon. On the finish, it's more of the apple cider taste and feel, along with the black pepper. Despite the strength of these flavors, I still get the classic rye bite on the finish to remind me what I am drinking. There isn't much else to say about this one. It's a solid rye at a very reasonable price. Definitely worth keeping in a rotation if you're a rye drinker.
