The nose has honey and vanilla with a faint hint of spice. It hits the front of your mouth hard. Flavors of apple, apricot, and orange with a vanilla finish.

Caramel and vanilla on the nose. Smooth palate with minimal rye flavor.
Incredibly mellow, excellent rye. Slightly sweet, truly satisfying
It's not as sweet as I prefer, but it's very good nonetheless.
