Firstly I have to mention that I am not a huge fan of Rye but I can appreciate a good one when I come across it such as this amazing juice. Nose: The nose is heavy cinnamon and baking spices with a very slight hint burnt sugar. The smell is fairly sweet and after the initial whiffs towards the end I can honestly say I can smell a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch cereal in the morning with a vanilla coffee in the background. First sip: For me the first sip is always a bit warmer than I am used to and I feel the oily nectar all over my cheeks and once it settles I can taste the subtle spice notes with a sweet pepper finish. The finish is not as long as I'd like but then again with Rye I never mind but I would like those oily notes to linger just a little longer. Second sip: Here comes the sweet cereal at the second sip for me with a nice bite and warmth following, right after the bite the sweet rum finish comes through and lingers throughout the finish. Not much to add on the description other than once I put the idea of cinnamon toast crunch with vanilla coffee I could not get out of that mindset because it is honestly all I taste and smell. If you like sweet bourbons and are not a big fan of rye I highly recommend this dram for you.
