Nose
Candied orange and citrus with a cool menthol-pine note; light floral character.
Palate
Dark berry jam and blackberry; grain biscuit foundation; intense rye spice and oak that dominate the mid-palate; evolves dramatically with each sip.
Finish
Roasted coffee and dark chocolate; grape-seed tannins create a drying astringency; black tea notes emerge with air time.
Very good
A chameleon rye that continuously reveals new layers—dark berries, spice, and roasted notes—making it a rewarding sipper for those who enjoy complexity.
