Okay, I’m either becoming a rye fan, or I’ve been on a streak of atypically good ryes. This one is right up there. I can tell that I have some room to grow on what I can detect on ryes. Particularly the nose. This one holds brown sugar and fresh cut flowers. Body is sweeter than I was expecting, and I taste lime juice and more sugar. Finish has a very acidic mouth feel, currently not something I’m into on a day-to-day basis, but I get how people (and perhaps me one day) could be into it. There’s a bit of leather and dark chocolate in the finish. Overall, this is not one iota overrated. It deserves its acclaim, and that’s coming from someone who still wouldn’t self-identify as a rye fan. I got brand new things in this rye that I’d never tasted before in a whiskey. Very happy to have these bottles on my shelf.
