New shoe smell is still there - rubbery for sure but with something like vanilla backing it up. Toastier towards the back of the nose. Some apples with cinnamon/stewed fruit thing playing against the rubber. Some maltiness, some pastry. Rich rye flavour is there on the first sip for sure, winter spice thing that finds its way all over the palate. Bready and seedy again. Not super full-bodied, quite thin and light in that respect but not necessarily in a bad way - the seedy brown bread flavour keeps it interesting. Some caramel there, but it’s a more jagged whisky than a rounded one. Feels young and fresh, savory. Tons of brown bread on the finish, lingers for a bit.
