95% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose
Floral, spicy notes balanced with mintiness. New leather, light nuttiness, and sweetness from the toasted lightly charred white oak.
Palate
Mint, marshmallow, and graham cracker notes. Smooth and drinkable despite 112 proof, with a surprising sweetness and polish. Excellent in cocktails like a Manhattan.
Finish
Graham cracker and subtle char from the lightly charred white oak, with lingering mint and spice.
Overall Score
4.3 / 5
A sophisticated rye that shatters preconceptions about spicy, hot rye whiskeys with its refreshing mint and marshmallow profile.
