Decent basic rye, not particularly complex. Decent spicy rye flavor with a bit of ethanol. Rye finish that lingers for a bit. It's not anything special, but it's perfectly drinkable. It's a little thin on the palate- I prefer all my whiskey on the oily side. Would be better if it were higher proof. Probably good to mix if you want something with a solid rye flavor shining through your mixer.
