Nose
Georgia peaches, cinnamon bears, candy notes with allspice, floral elements.
Palate
Liquid cinnamon bear candy with syrupy sweetness, buttery rye toast or rye muffin, creamy texture, cinnamon fruit roll-up quality, peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream impression, less piney than typical ryes.
Finish
Slight drying pull on the long finish, balanced spice and candy flavors, buttery and rich with a good hug.
Top notch
An exceptionally sweet and candy-forward rye with peach and cinnamon notes that defies expectations for the rye category.
