Nose
Nice caramel and spicy notes with bold rye spice despite only 20% rye content. Prominent rye spice is notable.
Palate
Initial sweet impression that transitions firmly on the back of the palate with pronounced rye spice. Caramel sweetness with molasses notes. Heavy viscous mouthfeel, silky texture that sticks to the back of the tongue and sides of the palate.
Finish
Long finish with deep peppery rye spice. Tannic and dry on the back without bitterness. Strong impression on the back of the palate.
Really good
A bold, rugged bourbon with excellent structure that would pair well with cigars or cocktails, showcasing the versatility of high-rye bourbon at barrel proof.
