Nose
Sweet tobacco and brown sugar with charred citrus notes.
Palate
Oak and pepper spice that is not overpowering or overwhelming. Bourbon-forward notes with nuanced caramel and vanilla, fruits, florals, and herbaceous botanical notes. Hibiscus flower character. Spicy with the spice profile reminiscent of Caribbean botanicals.
Finish
Spice that lingers pleasantly on the back of the tongue and rolls back nicely and easily without being overpowering. Pleasant, lingering finish.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A bourbon drinker's rye that balances classic rye spice with smooth, bourbon-like characteristics and complex botanical flavors suitable for sipping neat or on the rocks.
