Nose
Lemon bar and mint with subtle bubble gum and chocolate notes. Older leather undertones. Sweet inner notes without being overpowering, indicating mature rye character that has moved beyond youthful spice.
Palate
Honey and peachy apricot sweetness with candy notes that evoke Ludens cough drops. Viscous, silky delivery that drinks with presence well above its proof. Balanced sweetness and maturity.
Finish
Mint and oak with touches of leather. Clean, sophisticated close that reflects the whiskey's multi-state pedigree and extended aging.
Really good
A sophisticated multi-state rye blend with exceptional viscosity, mature candy and fruit notes, and a refined finish that drinks significantly richer than its 95-proof statement.
