Nose

Piney and citrus-forward with candied orange notes, smooth menthol-y mint character, very light youthful note.

Palate

Dark berry and blackberry jam with rye spice, intense oak spice, biscuit and cereal grain character, develops into black tea with a drying quality.

Finish

Coffee and dark chocolate notes emerge, with a drying tannic quality that develops over time.

Noteworthy
A unique, evolving rye that surprises with dark fruit and coffee notes, delivering complexity at a modest proof through careful interplay of spice and oak.
