Nose - Lemon grass and Spiced Apples. No real note of rye. Mild and kind of buttery. On the pallet there is a mild fruitness with the apple coming through and the rye makes a mild showing after the apple on the front. Then a hint of tobbaco after the fade. It falls off just short of the perfect time. Almost long enough to make a memory,but then it fades. Crisp and dry in the end. This would make a great mid summer day sipper outside no matter the reason. I can't wait to see what this does after sitting in a barrel 4 more years.
