116 proof single barrel.
Nose is honey lemon with a little alcohol heat coming through. I didn't really pick up much rye spice, which is surprising with this being 56% rye.
Palate is the star of this show. Creamy and mildly sweet. I get orange, chocolate, and hints of vanilla. Smooth, creamy mouth feel. There is rye spice that lingers in the background and is light but well balanced with the other flavors.
Finish is fast to medium and betrays its proof. More orange, with hints of rye and char and just enough heat going down to make you happy.
Later I tried this on a rock, and it tasted like a dreamsicle.
