Nose
Malty character, fruity notes, some bitterness or yogurt-like quality that some find off-putting
Palate
Sweet, berry-forward, dark fruit notes, pepper character, not overly hot for the proof, medium to long finish with a sheet of legs on the glass
Finish
Medium to long finish, peppered spice, sweet fruit character lingers
Overall Score
4 / 5
A well-crafted barrel-pick rye that drinks sweeter and less spicy than typical ryes, with berry complexity and a smooth finish despite its malty nose.
