Brown black color. Aromas and flavors of dried cherry and banana granola with ovaltine and quick milk, flower and herb patch, deep fried dill pickle with caramel red apple with nuts, and hint of printer cartridge and parchment paper with a silky, lively, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish that shows notes of spiced fruits and nuts and juicy fruit and double mint gums. A fruity and lively Rye that is sure to please, especially on the rocks with a splash of water or in cocktails.
