Nose: baking spice, spearmint Palate: spearmint cucumbers, nearly pickled in a pleasant way, drinks below its alcohol content Finish: a short, warm embrace (like from a buddy, not your mother) Overall: A fantastic blended rye that appears more intricate than its age statement suggests. This is a winner. And that wasn't a jab at mothers. Also, after checking the bottle's tasting notes, I don't detect any fruit or brown sugar. My assessment stands.
