Spearmint, citrus zest, pine nuts, clove, and candied orange slices. Bright and herbaceous with cooling spice.

Extremely thick and viscous with mint carrying through. Orange zest really pops on the second sip. Clean, refreshing quality with peppery spice and the oak blossoming on the back of the palate.

Long, peppery finish with oak spice and cooling mint. The rye character is pronounced and drying.

Really good
An exceptional high-octane rye with surprising refreshment and clarity, delivering spearmint and citrus with impressive age and viscosity that recalls the quality of historic rye expressions.
