Nose
Candy and licorice with orange marmalade notes; spicy candy undertones with a dose of black pepper on the back; floral notes emerging; signature barrel spice characteristic of the distillery
Palate
Full of flavor across the entire palate—front, back, middle, cheeks, and under the tongue; toasted rye bread with marmalade jelly spread and butter; pumpernickel rye quality; spicy candy drops; excites every part of the mouth with a nice explosion of flavor
Finish
Medium to long finish with lingering marmalade sweetness and candied spice drops; no bitter aftertaste; not drying
Excellent
A beautiful Southern-style rye whiskey that perfectly balances rye spice with barrel spice and candied sweetness, executed with genuine craft and well worth seeking out.
