This is my first Rye after having some reserves about a Rye whiskey and this absolutely disappointed me because I was wrong. This is great. On the nose I get sweet sweet honey and a bit of caramelizedgreen apple. I know honey is sweet but, I had to exaggerate the sweet because of how amazingly sweet this is on the nose after my personal thoughts based on reviews on Rye whiskey. So on the taste I get a bit of ginger bread with of course spice and the spice definitely shows up on the finish and the finish is medium. Definitely be buying this again.
