A lovely nose which is very Bourbony with corn sweetness and wood; the rye spice creeps in after a few seconds.  The palate follows pretty well with corn and wood in the forefront and rye spice in the background.  Subtle but inextricably a part of the whole, the rye spice grows into the finish, which is dominated by rye and oak.  

Rittenhouse ryes, made at Brown Forman for Heaven Hill, tend to be very balanced; they tend sweet and don't hit you over the head with spice. While this one has some strong oak, I think the wood is well integrated with the other flavors (though admittedly, I have a high tolerance for oak).
