The nose...​The nose is like the first time you ever had a really great rye...very smooth and just a hint of that rye note.  

The first sip...the mouth feel is so smooth!  No burn and I swished around to kill off my pain receptors.  Holy shit!  

The second sip...zero burn!  It’s perfect!  Wow!  There is a hint of that rye note common to most rye whiskey but unlike rendezvous rye, which is top knotch, this one is smoother and less rye with a great mild sweetness.  ​

If you ever want to sit around and have a sip of rye without burn or the need for ice, this is the number one!  I’d place this over the sazerac 18 as far as ease of drinkablity.  

Third sip...I’m super excited this was a winner!  Like water with all the right notes of rye sweetness!  A dream of heat is present on the long finish.  It’s not a touch, it’s serisously a dream, so faint!  ​

Is it worth the $?  Hell yes!  I bought it for $92 at the exchange and it is so worth it.  Not a daily drinker at that price but a great “this was a long week, I need a great drink” whiskey.  ​
