Nose: Fresh apple, banana, vanilla, butterscotch and cinnamon. A dash of oak and pepper as you dig a little deeper. Taste: Very easy going and friendly. Honey, vanilla and cream, with vibrant green apple. That rye finish offers a little drama at the end as I get some char and pepper. Overall: Good. Not going to change the life, but a nice background whiskey that has some unique twists because of the rye. Really, it’s a good transition from scotch to bourbon or vice versa if you’re looking to venture into the other side of the whiskey aisle.
