Well that's something i never had. First off 15 years Rye Whiskey that should be something special, right? There are two sides that stand against each other. The rye and sweetness but not really well combined and this is the red line that goes all the way through the nose taste and finish.

So there is supposed to be Rye? Well i only had sweetness at first, caramel. Let it rest a bit and here comes the spicyness of the rye. Oh yes we're there. Still there is nothing more to it. The rye and the sweetness. |

Not much left of the sweet notes i had in the nose. The spices are here more clearly and won't back down. They get along well with notes of oak and at the back of the throat there is some kind of sweetness. But it's more like they stand next to each other than blending in. |

Medium length. More oak and spices but also more sweetness. But again not really combined. |
Appearance: Deep amber-bronze. Easily the darkest of the three. Nose: Oak, vanilla, orange peel, herbs, not straight-out dill, but softer. Caramel, apple, cherry. Mellow and oaky. Palate: Butterscotch, sweet cherry, cinnamon spice, rye spice, oak, toast, hint of leather. Lovely silky body. Finish: Dill and caraway, oak, leather. With Water: Soft and mellower. Overall: Mellow, elegant, not a huge puncher, but smooth and delicious.
