Appearance: rose and straw like with thin quick legs. Nose: Ethanol, dill, and saltwater taffy. The nose is very faint. Palate: There is a medicinal quality to it almost like isopropyl alcohol initially. This is a young tasting one for sure with a bit of chocolate. The palate is a bit more rich than the nose but this lacks substance for me. Needs more time in the barrel for sure. Finish: Quick and unfulfilling. The medicine taste lives on! Overall- Not the worst rye I have ever had but far from the best. It is young and has a distinct rubbing alcohol note that I just can't dismiss. So many better ones out there for the price. Old Forester Rye, Wheel Horse and WT101 Rye to name a few in the under 30.00 range that are way better than this one.
