Nose - Caramel, bright flowers, vanilla, light cinnamon, orange creamsicle, lots of clean scents incredible nose. Palate - Lots of sweet rye spice some barrel char. Some light caramel and bitter rye. Finish - Finish is same as the palate, almost perfect
Strong and spicy but smooth and some interesting flavors still come through. Very nutty with tastes of chocolate, mint and orange rind. Enjoyed with a small ice cube.
Powerful rye spices and heat. Nutty, dark chocolate, some leather, some dark fruit, spearmint, slight lemon. Further sips bring out licorice. Complex and powerful.
My favorite rye I've tried so far. Reminded me of MWND but stronger and smoother. Cinnamonny, christmas flavors. Nice burn. @ big star wrigleyville
Sweet cranberry and green grape nose with a cranberry, raspberry and boozy green grape taste. Long charred cranberry barrel finish.
Very hot, even with splash of water. Subtle vanilla and carmel, also some bitterness. Shorter finish than expected.
