On the nose: An intriguing fusion of scents kicks the sip off, led by dill, peanut brittle, and fresh rye grain. Inhaling deeper reveals scents of teak wood, light cinnamon applesauce, and light bark. The array of scents is incredibly earthy and forms a combination I haven’t experienced in a rye before. Surprisingly light for the proof, the nose provides enough weird uniqueness to intrigue you and pull you in further.

On the palate: Similar to the nose, the palate contains fistfuls of fresh dill and light peanut brittle. An undulating rye spice joins the mix along with a serving of light sweet oak. The dill provides a bold presence, making the palate vegatative in nature. To that point, the dill is too overpowering, creating a unique yet slightly unbalanced overall midpoint for the sip.

The finish: True to form, an explosion of fresh dill kicks things off and is joined by muted vanilla and rye spice. Light dry oak and candied peanuts join the mix along with a dollop of heat. As the other flavors fade, all you're left with is a light heat and peanut and dill combination which lasts a surprisingly long time. Much like the palate, the dill makes the end of the sip slightly lopsided and leaves you asking what just happened here?
