Nose
I would shy away from sticking your nose straight in the glass, as the high ABV might just fry some of your senses. When I carefully nosed this and pushed past the alcohol, I was greeted with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, green tea, and baking spice. Its just a great rye whiskey smell. As your hands warm the glass and the alcohol evaporates off, you will fill whatever room youre in with the smell of this.
Palate
Upon first impression I found a nice punch of whisky. It is nice and dry across the palate, with a texture that clings to the teeth. It gives way to lemon zest and rye berries with honey accompaniment. I found some subtle hints of vanilla and dark sugar. There is some nice complexity with this one, but with patience you can pick the notes apart. The finish was lovely; warm and spicy with deep, dry oak. Despite the high ABV it doesnt have a harsh warming sensation.
