The aroma is pretty much what you’d expect: rye spice and cinnamon, mingled with sweet molasses, vanilla, and oak. It’s pleasant as it gently swells from the glass. The scents work well together, but the aroma will make you do a double take. As familiar as the scents come across at first, you’ll get a sudden injection of rum that transforms it into something weirdly unexpected

A heavy dose of rye spice greets you, which transitions into a mishmash of traditional rye and rum flavors of spice, cinnamon, molasses, and brown sugar. That’s not to say the overall flavor is bad per say, but it's hard to taste individual flavors here. In a way this makes it come across as more of a simple pre-mixed cocktail. It’s enjoyable to drink, as long as you don’t expect much.
