Nose: grapefruit, chocolate, pumpernickel rye bread Palate: dark chocolate, fresh mint, rye, buttery/creamy caramel Finish: sweet creamy rye lingers on forever Overall: By far the best rye I've ever had. Most ryes I've had just taste like bourbon so having something where the rye stands out so much is really enjoyable. And at $51 this is a steal!
