Bulleit 95 Straight Rye

The floral and violet candy notes on the nose suggest a younger rye followed by fresh citrus and a pronounced herbal quality that borders on vinyl with primary grain aromas peering through like warm porridge. On the palate it emerges a bit hot up front on the thin side as sweet vanilla honey and tropical fruit meet peppery spices tinged with caraway and licorice. A solid if somewhat simple sipper.
