That Boutique-y Whisky Company, Master of Malt
Single rye - New York 
Red
53.55% ABV
Dram

Nose: Green tea, roses, musk, honey, strawberry jam, allspice, milk chocolate. With water, oak chips, allspice, milk chocolate. 
Mouthfeel: Light body, cool, watery around the edges, loose. 
Tasting:  Bitter sweet. Malted grains, cornflakes, milk chocolate, roses, nutmeg, vanilla. With water, oak chips, milk chocolate, black tea, hints of roses. 
Finish: Long. Black tea, strawberry jam, coffee, milk chocolate, hints of musk. 

Comments: 

Jammy, but with a meaty rough note on the nose. It’s almost malty on the tongue, with the rye spice tamed. Water brings out a woody note, and it fades to a long bitter finish.

Verdict:

I like this.
