Final Thoughts - I actually quite liked this as it actually reminded me of a rye that I can no longer get. This tastes oddly similar to Woodinville Whiskey's old microbarreled rye offering. This has very similar chocolaty notes to the rye that make it quite desserty. This is definitely not an everyday dram as the chocolate notes can be a bit overwhelming on their own. I think this would be best paired with a berry dessert, a hearty stout, or mixed into an old fashioned or a manhattan.
