$23
65% rye, 20% malted barley, 15% corn
Nose
Sweet stickiness typical of rye with baking spices including cinnamon and nutmeg, subtle citrus notes, banana taffy character, and a generous baking cabinet aroma with fruitiness throughout.
Palate
Cinnamon, nutmeg, and rounded baking spices with just a touch of sweetness; banana nut bread quality with subtle chocolate and citrus notes; light and not heavily peppery despite the rye-forward mashbill.
Finish
Medium length finish that fades relatively quickly without significant oiliness or viscosity; light and clean without lingering intensity.
Overall Score
3.5 / 5
A well-balanced, approachable rye with more complexity on the nose than palate, ideal for mixing and everyday enjoyment without breaking the budget.
