Nose: This is a really complicated nose. I think I was expecting something like MWND, but this is brighter. I'm not going to be able to do this justice and I feel like it will shift as it opens up, but here goes. Berries, vanilla, subtle rye, and baking spices. Really nice! Palate: A whole lot going on here as well. I think you could pour an ounce of this and sit with it for a few hours. This would be fun to taste with others and discuss as you work you way through the pour. The port is there, but on the lighter side. It almost feels like each whiskey in the blend takes a turn, but not always in the same order. Definitely on the brighter side. Not too sweet, very oily. The mouthfeel is up there with the best I've had. I'll go with bright, complicated, and port adjacent. Finish: On the longer side. Take a sip and wait a minute after you swallow to see how it evolves. Overall: This is really well done. Worth seeking out if you like finished ryes or bouryes. I'm excited to see where they go with this!
