Taste: Neat in glen cairn glass, then 3 drops of water.
Nose (2.5): Very sweet and doughy. Almost medicinal and pungent. Very yeasty and fruity. Nose kind of turned me off.
Palate: (3.25) Bready and sweet with some rye and a hint of marshmallow. Some candycorn is on the back end. Better than the nose, but not my favorite rye whiskey.
Finish (2.0): Some spice comes through but that sweetness from the nose overwhelms the finish. The fruity yeast is overwhelming. Reminds me of a pizza kitchen.
Overall: I was disappointed overall. Too sweet, almost medicinally so on the nose. The taste improved a bit but still too yeasty.
