The jury is still out. My first rye so the flavor is taking getting used to. It's not bad, just different. Will update further into the bottle. Side note: can anyone give me an idea of what I'm tasting? It's so familiar, but I can't place it, like a distant memory you just can't clear up. Update: This is actual growing on me. I like the after hear it's providing. Are there better ryes out there? I am looking forward to it!
