Color: Food coloring brown

Nose: Way to much ethanol, rye eventually comes through with some oak

Taste: Smooth to the namesake, but very bland. Bits of carmel and rye but not nearly enough.

Finish: Bites the tongue hard and then disappears quickly.

Overall: It was gift and I gave it a fair shot I feel, but I’m not a fan.

Score: 45 out of 100
