The nose on this actually has some bourbony sweetness, followed by a big hit of rye spice.  The palate has a lot of rye but is a bit tinny.  The finish is fairly bitter with medicinal notes. 

Reminds me of some of the craft ryes I've had more than a traditional straight rye (which makes sense since it is 100% rye and made in a pot still).

Ahhh I like that nose, forward bourbony sweetness and downright inviting.

Palate is kinda nice, if weak. Doesn't fully hit the spot but it does the trick. But the finish is a bit too bitter, and that's the main problem here.
