$36
60% rye, 20% barley, 20% corn
Nose
Fresh and floral with spearmint, peaches, key lime pie notes, and bright citrus character. Herbal and fruity with honey undertones.
Palate
Mom's cherry pie with baked buttery crust, mint, peach carry-through, honey, caramel, and almost pastry-like notes. Light on the palate despite 97 proof. Crisp and refreshing with fruit-forward character.
Finish
Slight heat and Kentucky hug, cloves and cinnamon notes, fresh and lingering.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A bright, fruit-forward summer rye that drinks lighter than its proof while maintaining complexity and approachability.
