95% rye, 5% malted barley
Nose
Buttery with prominent green apple and Jolly Rancher hard candy apple notes, cinnamon, vanilla (surprising for a rye), baking spice, and floral elements. Pungent notes are tempered compared to typical ryes.
Palate
Buttery and vanilla-forward with hard candy apple, cinnamon spice, a hint of mint and freshness, and a crisp character reminiscent of Christmas spices. Light, crisp finish without excessive proof burn.
Finish
Enhances the nose with an antique note reminiscent of aged wood and older buildings. Crisp and light, making it suitable as a spring or summer sipper despite the 93 proof.
Overall Score
