Nose: Oak, vanilla, brown sugar. Black pepper, clove, cardamom. Tart cherry. Vegetal - dill, thyme, basil. Barnyard. Palate: oak, vanilla, sugar. Creamy - cream cheese frosting. Dill, thyme, cinnamon, clove, cardamom. Bubblegum. Barnyard hay - almost reminds me of a brett beer.
Last BTAC I've tasted. Was avoiding because rye is usually too spicy for me, but this wasn't. It wasn't hot, deep, or full, it just kind of was. Didn't hate it, but didn't love it. I'll stick to all things Stagg.
Full sweet aroma of cherries and banana bread. Spicy on the tongue with wood and cinnamon
Piney and smooth, this Sazerac was a standout at the last WhiskeyFest. The gin among ryes
