Taste this neat and your first words will be wow. this shit is a crazy dynamic, hot and spicy and sexy. Unique for sure but well worth a try. The nose is deceivingly simple and subtle, spicy but not insane. That first taste though. With a splash (1/2 a straw full) it really changes though. The spice moved to the back of my cheeks and the taste was warm, sweet and something earthy but confusing. I don't know that I've had a rye like this before.
