Tasty and refreshing, like you want from a ginger beer highball. Ginger flavor rules here - I also pick up a hint of the minty flavor from the Nardini (complementing the ginger). I used Bonal (no Bryyh on hand) - it gave a small bitterness in the during the finish, did not linger. I couldn't pick out the spicy notes of the rye with the ginger and Nardini, but the high proof kept the cocktail interesting without seeming boozy.
