Comments: 

Quite a unique rye, dark and spicy, with a lot of citrus fruit. It’s also not really whisky, as per the British definition. I think it’s probably around 2 years old. Good flavour though, and a decent level of sweetness (that would be the 39% of corn in the mash bill). 

Verdict:

I like this.
