80% rye, 20% triticale
Nose
Sweeter than a typical Kentucky rye, with Maryland and Pennsylvania rye character. Complex and layered with good development.
Palate
Sweet on the front of the palate with a drying effect toward the back, reminiscent of dry red wine. Medium-bodied with spice that doesn't overwhelm.
Finish
Medium finish with a dry, wine-like quality. Not very viscous, with a subtle spice that lingers gently.
Overall Score
3.9 / 5
A soft, well-balanced rye with sweet-to-dry structure that appeals to wine drinkers and excels in old fashioned cocktails.
