92% rye, 5% smoked malt, 3% malted barley
Nose
Little sweet with a hint of youth; charred oak with floral notes typical of rye; subtle smokiness from the barrel; white pepper spice with fruit on the tail end; anise undertones.
Palate
Smokiness more apparent on the palate than the nose; creamy caramel coating; well-rounded mid-palate white pepper spice; anise notes; raisin and cocoa developing as it sits; Kentucky hug warmth.
Finish
Oak remains present with lingering Kentucky hug; warming finish suitable for sipping by a fire.
Above average
A solid, honest four-year-old rye with good balance, subtle smoke complexity, and a satisfying Kentucky hug—worth the $50 and worth buying again.
