57% malted barley, 37% raw barley, 6% rye
Nose
Light and fruity with honeydew melon character. Fresh, clean, and approachable without much evidence of sherry influence.
Palate
Dramatically different from the nose—bready, honeyed, zesty, and drying. Citrus punch with hints of melon continuing. Long, complex finish with significant oak spice. Rye plays nicely with the malt-forward character.
Finish
Remarkably long and persistent, leaving a sizzle and pleasant drying sensation that extends well beyond the palate impression.
Top notch
A fascinating malt-forward whiskey where the nose and palate diverge dramatically but complement each other beautifully, showcasing exceptional finish length and complexity from an unusual mashbill.
