Nose
Dynamic and evolving nose with cedar, spice, leather, tobacco, floral notes, and citrus hints; shows complexity that changes as the glass sits with notes of spearmint, tea, and a hint of citrus.
Palate
Balanced with sweetness, spice, and floral character; soft and approachable despite barrel strength; contains notes that cross between fruity, floral, and herbaceous elements in a complementary way.
Finish
Dry orange spice character with cedar showing through; opens to sweet and savory smoke as it sits.
Really good
A remarkably balanced Kentucky rye that uses corn to add softness and floral complexity while maintaining the bold rye character, demonstrating thoughtful mashbill innovation.
