Nose: Big Red chewing gum. I swear I couldn’t tell the difference. Palate: Extremely smooth and sweet for a rye. Cinnamon and black tea are the dominate notes to me. Finish: Once again, smooth. Cinnamon and brown sugar (maybe?). No big “KY Hug”. Fine whisky. Would never have thought it was a rye in a blind test. Smooth and sweet. More of an after dinner drink to me. Probably not a daily drinker, but it has a place on any bar.
