Excellent aroma, with typical caramel, but also flowery honey and a subtle earthy scent. Strong leather on the palate, sharp and gritty. Cocoa pieces too. Not as sugary as the smell suggests. Dry finish that endures. Pleasant warmth. 10/18/18
A blast of heat hits first, then a bold, peppery, deep flavor follows. Incredible! I’m taking another sip, and then another...
Quite good. Mildly spicy, with pleasant sweetness. A personal favorite.
Enjoyable. Smooth. The right level of spice for a rye.
