Nose: Initially smells like a bourbon, with notes of vanilla, toffee, and butterscotch candy, along with a hint of dried apple. Palate: Warm but not as sweet as the aroma suggests. Good heat that fades quickly with pleasant caraway notes. Nice smooth texture. Balanced and not overly complex. Would work well in cocktails. Finish: Long, slightly bitter, with more caraway and rye bread notes.

Decent rye, lighter and smoother, not too intense. Lacks the complexity I seek in a sipping whiskey, so I'd use it for mixing, but perhaps not at this price point.
A good go-to rye, with a bit of spice and a lingering finish. Nothing particularly stands out, making it a potentially good choice for cocktails.
An above-average rye with pleasant spiciness and a mild sweetness. It has a slight sugar-cookie finish.
An excellent traditional rye. It bears a strong resemblance to Peerless Rye, which I really like.
Pleasantly spicy, this is my favorite rye so far.
