Comments: 

Well, this is not even whiskey - it's only been aged 2 years, but that has been in some sort of wine cask. It's very sweet, lots of jammy notes, and these go very well with the spicy rye character. It's good, despite its age, but I can't help thinking that it could be even better if it was left to age a little longer.

Verdict:

I like this.
