Nose: rye jumps out of the glass, pickle, caramel, leather, pine Taste: spicy, salty, rye bread, some sweetness that I can’t pinpoint Finish: almost minty, some licorice After reading reviews: confirmation of the pine, mint, and leather. The unidentifiable sweetness may be the confectioners sugar noted in whizzky - I didn’t find honey or vanilla. I don’t like gin or really know what juniper is like, so I wouldn’t have gotten that. surprised I didn’t see pickle or salt noted. Overall, the pine and mint are a little weird for me.
