Nose

Unusual for a whisky. Very sweet. Treacle, maple syrup. Reminiscent of a rum orange liquor. Orange peel.

Palate

Sweet and liqueur like! There is obviously added sugar. The same molasses, treacle, sugary notes as in some rum. Caramel. Creamy, vanilla custard.

Finish

Sweet and cloying. And short.

Comment

I would never have guessed it was a rye whiskey! Where is the spicy crispiness of the rye?
