Nose
Floral sweetness with spring tulip and daffodil notes. Fresh cut grass, sweet tea with lemon, and citrus character. Hints of key lime pie.
Palate
Sugar Smacks cereal notes with honey and Christmas spice. Light orange zest. Citrus-forward with a gentle burn that is not overpowering. Very smooth for a rye whiskey.
Finish
Clean finish with lingering spice and sweetness, not overly hot despite the proof.
Recommended
A sophisticated, well-aged rye whiskey that balances floral and spice notes beautifully, demonstrating excellent craft and restraint at 86 proof.
