100% malted rye
Nose
Earthy, chalky, stony mineral notes; underlying fruit and aromatic spice; malting softens the typical spicy rye punch.
Palate
Grain-forward and softened; mineral and earthy notes carry through; dark chocolate and mint; spicy tingle on the tongue; complex fruit notes with a slight green, bitter quality.
Finish
Green, bitter character with coniferous forest notes; aspen and Northern forest qualities; medium-length with lingering spice.
Recommended
A sophisticated malted rye that delivers earthiness and complexity while the malting process softens the typical rye aggression.
