It is a 125 proof rye. It is very full bodied with a lot of spice. There is a little light peanut and citrus flavors mid palate. The finisg is spicy and long. My last sip was 10 min. or so ago and I can still taste it. It's very mouth coating. It's "in your face" with the rye spice. They are a 75% rye, 25% barley so it doesn't have that sweet corn flavor like many high rye bourbons. If you like rye this is one for you.
