A good rye that hits all the right notes.

Fuji

N: Tart vanilla, spices and drywall (as in the smell of the particles when cutting through it)
P: Lacquer and lots of wood with mildly sweet caramel
F: Very bitter

Tim

N: Nice, slight prickle. Rye spice, kind of an interesting nose overall and slightly creamy.

P: Smooth on the palate, slightly warm, slightly bitter wood. Apple skin. Dusty.

F: Spice notes continue but it's dry. Gets some vinyl weirdness happening.

I'm forgainst it.

Adam

I just don't get a whole lot from this. And that not-muchness is over-oaked, which is the problem here. Too leathery after a few sips.

RETASTE years later: Just way too leathery after a few sips. Would be a B on a very good day. Still a B-.
