Best rye bang for your buck. This beat out many higher cost ryes in a blind taste test. Nose is up front and very sweet. Clove, anise, vanilla, oak, nutmeg. Palate is rich and sweet like frosting at first. Followed by a nice rye bite with spices, mint, more clove. A mouth-watering finish that lingers and slowly dries. Leaving oak, subtle cacao, mild funk. Great straight and great for mixing. 100 proof is a big plus. Can’t beat the price.
