95% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose
Spicy and peppery notes dominant, fresh and crisp, floral and herbaceous, with hints of anise and juniper berry
Palate
Sweet with caramel, barrel flavors on the back end, peppery heat, clean and crisp mouthfeel, candy-like sweetness
Finish
Nice long sweet finish, little bit of dry spice on the back end, drinks almost as if chilled
Top notch
A remarkably mature young rye with clean spice and surprising sweetness that belies its brief time in barrel.
