Nose: Heavy clove A hint of Soap?! Cinnamon Smoke Palate: This is a Cinnamon bomb, like eating a handful of red hots — transitions nicely from spice to sweet. Finish: Almost like a wheater... fairly smooth finish with medium length, just a little thin. This rye surpassed my expectations for the entry level offering from Whistlepig. Scored a great price but would still recommend at msrp closer to $45-50.
