*** MBS RYE SOCIETY PICK *** Smell - Lots of honeysuckle and very light peanut butter. A very clean aroma with plenty of sweet herbal and floral notes. Taste - Intense rye flavor. The most rye I've ever had. Loads of honey, floral, and herbal notes, light on the mint, heavy on the sweet. Aftertaste - The aftertaste is similar to the taste, very consistent, I love it
The aroma has peach cobbler and rye grains. Pleasant peach notes are also present on the palate, along with hints of rye and gingerbread. A tiny ice cube introduced a cream soda flavor. The finish is medium in length, offering a gentle warmth.
Smell: spearmint, vanilla, some dill Taste: sweet candy initially, herbal in the middle but not diluted, great flavor. Some licorice in the finish, very smooth, delicious
A well-rounded rye offering both sweet and spicy characteristics, along with floral notes and very little bitterness. It's quite enjoyable and possesses considerable complexity. 11/29/2020
A very good rye whiskey. The spice notes are subtle enough for newcomers to rye, yet classic enough to maintain appeal.
Excellent rye. A strong rye spice on the nose, with a nice flair throughout. The finish is short and unsurprising, but it's on point.
