Very big and unique fruit-forward character with dried fruit notes including raisined aspects reflecting the Madeira finish. Subtle anise notes that showcase the rye character and throw people off in an interesting way.

Hits with immediate impact and heat at first, then develops sweetness and savory elements with a dry aspect on the center palate. Well-balanced despite the high proof with no harsh burn down the back of the throat. Excellent balance of whiskey characteristics throughout.

Strong, solid race to a long finish that distributes flavors across the entire palate rather than following a linear progression.
