60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley
Nose
Youth and cereal notes with prominent rye spice. Corn-forward with a corny, corn bread character. Pungent.
Palate
Sweet with corn and rye spice balance. Thin mouthfeel on the entry with a nice mid-palate combination of sweetness and rye. Oak tannins present on the back end with pencil shavings and rubber eraser notes from the toasted oak spire. Funky taste overall.
Finish
Oak-dominant with pencil shavings character and woody middle notes.
Overall Score
2.3 / 5
An innovative experiment with the toasted oak spire finishing method that shows its youth and thin body, with woody pencil shaving flavors that overshadow the sweetness for some palates.
