Flower sweetness with spring tulips and fresh cut grass notes, sweet tea with lemon, citrus, key lime pie

Palate

Sugar Smacks cereal notes throughout, honey with Christmas spice and orange, hot toddy in wintertime, spice with burn but not overpowering

Lingering spice and warmth

Very good
A sophisticated rye whiskey with four-year maturation delivering cereal sweetness, citrus brightness, and well-balanced spice that works beautifully neat or as a sipper.
