Sweet caramel and butterscotch with a subtle floral note and spice from the rye peeking through. Not overly aggressive with ethanol for 100 proof.

Butterscotch and pop rocks sensation that slides back with the rye spice, followed by an old Kentucky hug. Well-balanced distribution of flavors across front and back palate. Second sip reveals increased sweetness as oak begins to emerge. Buttery popcorn/kettle corn quality.

Little dry, similar to a light red wine dryness typical of high-rye bourbons. Medium to long finish with developing aromatic menthol from the rye and well-integrated oak.
