80% rye, 20% Leopold floor malt
Nose
Rich honey with complex herbal and floral notes. Chamomile and camel tea characteristics with vanilla cream. Subtle baking spice notes, light fruit, and a deceivingly non-traditional rye nose that ranks among the best ever experienced.
Palate
Oily and silky texture that distributes excellently across the palate. Honeycomb and honey-forward with gingerbread and ginger snap spice. Herbal, flowery, earthy notes with hay and straw undertones. Subtle cantaloupe fruit note. The whiskey settles and holds its own beautifully on the tongue.
Finish
Long, silky smooth finish that lingers all day. White peppercorn spice with a gentle hug that's not overpowering but leaves a persistent presence. Excellent legs for 100 proof whiskey.
Overall Score
4.7 / 5
An expertly crafted revival of pre-prohibition rye-making tradition using a three-chamber still, delivering exceptional complexity and an oily mouthfeel that elevates it to the upper echelon of contemporary rye whiskeys.
