The nose on this salsa is very simple, it smells like a brewery and toasted rye bread. I must be getting ready to run a marathon, because this nose is all carb loading. The palate on this is not too enjoyable for me, fragrance from the nose comes off on the palate almost in its entirity. There is a tiny bit of smoke that happens, but its basically all toasted rye bread. I have had a few Few products, and they all seem to have a similar kind of flavor. I have had a barrel aged gin that was pretty decent from this company, but this particular dram is a pass for me.
