Faint vegetal nose, initially slight notes of sweetness and spice. But after a little Kentucky chew in the mouth it opens up very nicely.
Superbly smooth, flavorful, and well rounded rye. Subtlety sweet and Spicy. Wish this product was on the shelf all the time.
Pine on the nose. Striking at first taste, with subtle pine afterwards. Average. Not bad, but not world-beating. 2.5.
Quite sweet, loved it first time I had, not as much on second tasting. Probably have to be in the mood.
Clove and pine on the nose. Sweet and nothing more. Tastes younger than 10 years.
