bergy 4.0

Nose- heavy dill. sweet floral notes but not overly minty. Some great rye bread and dough notes as well Taste- spicy, black pepper up front. Some real funky cereal grains (in a good way). More dill Finish- medium finish, more funky rye bread notes If you like funky, musty ryes, this one is great. You still get classic rye notes but this is a unique one worth the pickup!

Jason W 0.5

Just finished the bottle and did not acquire a taste. Ilove ryes, but not this one. Tried neat and rest of bottle masking the moldy funk in a sour. Unsuccessful

David Schuerenberg 3.5

not a lot of depth for me neat, but came through perfectly with coke πŸ˜‹ would certainly buy again, and recommend

Not hot for a Rye. Very good to drink with single cube. Very good herbal is correct, almost peppermint

curtce 1.0

This tastes like corn smells when you’re shucking it. My person and I both had to bail.
