Good dark caramel color and long thick legs. Initial nose was a hint of cinnamon candy and vanilla with a very slight hint of ethanol like you find in many craft bourbons. The rye was present throughout on the palate. Some vanilla, oak and flowery notes to finish. A few drops of water or ice may bring out other notes.
