Nose
Bubble gum character with evergreen and forest notes; juniper and pinecone aromas; not minty; pleasant and aromatic with good wood presence.
Palate
Burst of rye flavor before the finish; syrupy and candy-like with aromatic qualities; aromatic and foresty without earthiness; redwood forest notes; opens the palate and makes the mouth water.
Finish
Long and complex; heavy textured with persistent legs indicating weight and substance; warming and toasty.
Top notch
A standout, year-round rye whiskey with candy and forest aromatics that punches well above its price point for the proof and quality.
