Nose: initially woody (light and oaky), with light spice, vanilla, light caramel and later as it breaths sweet red berries dominates and then rye on the nose. Yum! Body: very smooth Palate: mild spice, mild and easy, light floral and later sips with citrus and oranges Finish: rye, cherry-very nice. A little short but the rye is nice. Note: this is very nice, so smooth and easy, very subtle but flavorful. Very pleasant. More complicated and interesting than 1782 bottled in bond but not as bold as Jefferson or pappy 15
