Sounds like Michters-made rye. Jackson said in the '78 World Guide To Whisky that Michters sometimes supplied rye for the Overholt label. That soft vanilla and smell of fall in the forest gives it away because Michter's Original Sour Mash (6 years old) had that too. They would have been similar mashes, really, also, I have theorized that aging in cool Eastern Pennsylvania countyside imparted that forest glade-like note. Goods notes Emerald.
