Neat. Scene 2. Nose hits you with heavy rye spice right off the bat. Vanilla and berries hide behind that but the spice dominates. Very inviting nose. One you can hang out with for awhile. Perfect smooth mouth feel. Might be the most flavor up front on a rye I have had. Berries and cream take over the tongue and intensify. That rye spice that dominates the nose does not dominate the taste. This competes with Willet 4 Year for my favorite rye. Wowzers.
