Nose Overrype cherries (the type of cherries that have been for too long in a light syrup and start to turn milk chocolate brown), red tea, tequilla smoke (agava), nutmeg and winey. Taste Now a sip... The mouth follow the nose. First the spices then a wave of red winey tea grow in my mouth and I think "Grappa". While it is still there, little splash of nail polish and a droplet of orange appear and disappear rapidly. Finish The finish is like the beginning with the return of the spices (with some pepper for a moment and a hint of chili) overcoming the red tea And achieving a great balance with good lenght. Very beautiful... Overall This rye is for grappa lovers! It is so uncommoned whisky that I am sure a lot of you will hate it and will stop their drinking asking themselves where is the whisky in that dram! Their also some drinkers that will salute this drink by asking another glass as soon as they will finish the first. As for me, I love it but I am still puzzled by it, mainly when it is time to describe it to whisky lovers. Maybe I will deal with my confusion by pouring myself an other glass! Cheers!
