Gate Eleven Rye

As expected, it smells of rye, along with hints of pear, mint, vanilla, and cherry. The taste is spicy, featuring pepper, rye, burnt oak, and vanilla. The ending is quite brief, leaving a bitter and peppery sensation, though a peppery spice remains on the upper palate.

It's worth a try for the novelty, but this spirit tastes young and has a noticeable burn. If you find yourself at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, where it originates, you'd likely be better off visiting the Chattanooga Whiskey establishment across the street.
