Nose
Leather, dried cherry, cranberry, caramel, and mahogany with rich complexity and age presence without candied sweetness.
Palate
Dry, oaky, leathery, nutty, and peppery with a mouth-watering quality. Displays aged dried fruit character and hint of strawberry; rich in a dry way. The palate punches despite the soft nose.
Finish
Long finish with pepper spice and holiday spice notes that linger considerably.
Excellent
An exceptional aged rye that eschews candy sweetness for elegant desiccated fruit and leather, delivering a remarkably long, satisfying finish at a compelling price point.
