WOW, so I'll post what the distiller says about the product then I'll give my two cents.

[A nontraditional-tasting rye whiskey, this spirit honors a nostalgic mash-bill that lures you in with every sip. A burnt sea salted vanilla caramel aroma is followed by a warm sweet taste and soothing finish. This 94-proof rye is smooth enough even for bourbon enthusiasts. You'll want to pour this unexpected spirit all night.]

As I Stated on the show, this is a deeply rich whiskey with a lot of character. Yes, you get the hints of vanilla but that's not the major tone that hits you. The smokey oak flavor along with the straight rye flavoring is intense but not over bearing. This drink has a smooth aftertaste that really isn't over powering. I thoroughly enjoyed this whiskey straight or on the rocks. It was just a pleasant drink all the way around.
