It's not the worst thing, but it ain't good either. What wood notes you're able to pick up are green 2x4, not the beautiful vanilla and caramel notes you'd get from a typical barrel. Ethanol and moist cardboard drive the palate and the finish. Would be interested in trying at 100 proof after spending 5 years in a 53.

Really intriguing! Tasted with an owner who described the flavors/aromas really well. Rye bread with raisin/date, clove, and allspice. The aroma was the best part, really complex. Distilled from a blend of Colorado and Canadian rye. The most-unique rye I've tasted, yet.
Buttery, caramel, no spice.
