Smells like awesome rum. Tastes like a rye that is a smidge too sweet, and not enough spice. Don’t get me wrong, this rye is delicious. However, every rye between $40-90 that is rated highly is better than this. I have no regrets buying this bottle, because it was a unique experience, but I won’t miss it, and I’m glad it’s no longer taking up space on my shelf.
