Comments: 

There's a beauty to this rye whiskey, made in a country that one wouldn't normally associate with the stuff, yet grows some of the best grain around. The mouthfeel is thick and syrupy, and the legs are broad and obvious. There's plenty of spice and flavour in the whiskey, as befits a good rye, and there's a herbal fragrance that reminds me of corn and camphor. Good stuff.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
