Within an eyelash hair of life changing, this is a very seductive rye. Immediate awareness is of orange peel, cardamon, white chocolate and poppy seed, and though the sweetness isn't overwhelming, it is a dominant character. Aftertaste is sweet gasoline and cherry jawbreaker, with a fairly strong iodine emerging as a second aftertaste. This is the kind of rye you feel on the sides of your mouth and the smile-wrinkles of your eyes -- which is all to say there's a not inconsiderable pucker after-effect -- which is all to say that this is a long ride, sweet and a little dangerous.
