Smell: cereal notes, some burnt sugar, and herbs. Taste: thick but very minty, reminiscent of candy canes. Underlying notes of burnt sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon like Goldschlager, the finish lingers and has good tannins, the cinnamon spice persists. Compared to a different bottle: Smell: buttery, butterscotch, vanilla Taste: less cinnamon, more complex flavor, oaky, vanilla, tannins, considerably better.
A pleasant sweet rye. It offers some taste similarities to Willett rye. A little too hot for my liking, though.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
