Slight aroma of banana bread overshadowed by the distinct smell of ethanol. Along with the banana bread, there is a bit of rye spiciness on the tongue; but both are overshadowed by young whiskey alcohol burn. You may be able to strip the finish off your old liquor cabinet with this juice. There are better ryes, at cheaper prices. revisited this one o 7/7/23 and am not dure if I just felt differently or if there hss bern s change in this juice. It isn’t quite as bad as I remembered, but still not very good. I did bump my rating a skosch better than I first ratex it. There are still better rye whiskeys at s lower price.
