One of the most approachable ryes I’ve had to date. If you are trying to introduce someone to the world of rye, this is a great place to start. Nose: Slight ethanol, mint and honey Palate: Watery start that thickens up to a muted rye spice with a fair amount of oak and some mint. Nothing too strong in this one. Finish: The rye spice lingers and the oak becomes more pronounced. Feels like an 80 proof throughout. I always have a bottle of this around for friends who are afraid of rye.
