Typical in the mouth, some wood, slight dryness due to the tannins and a slight sharpness on the finish. The best Rye in the flight! Very strong and fruity-grainy fragrance, with hints of plums, mountain hay, dried fruits and honey. Sweet on the palate with vanilla, toffee, nougat, with a slightly biting wood structure (tannin). Good aroma balance in the final too, but slightly youthful in character. The barrel is well integrated - rye is present - fine symbiosis, a slight astringency in the finish - reverberation of rye remains - beautiful!
