Powerful aroma consisting of cinnamon, french toast, orange, dill, leather, and musty old books. If that sounds like a strange combo, it sure is but it's also delightful. Amazingly low alcohol presence on the nose. I could sit here and sniff this all day. Palate: some chocolate not present in the nose, cinnamon toast crunch cereal, mandarin orange, and a hint of pickle. The flavors are all very rich and bold. 111 proof lets you know it's there without becoming a distraction. Finish is very long and peppery (both chili and black) with additional notes of cherry and mint. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy which supports the rich flavors. A truly great and unique whiskey; certainly never tasted anything like it and well worth the $57. Sweet for a rye, but with crazy depth and complexity so it never gets cloying or boring in it's sweetness. Instant re-buy.
