65% rye, 15% corn, 20% malted barley
Nose
Dried fig with effervescent lemon-lime citrus and cotton-candy sweetness—unusually fruity for a rye.
Palate
Cherry and strawberry with light initial sweetness that shifts into dark cacao and chocolate, finishing with white pepper and rye spice.
Finish
Long and lingering with white pepper and rye spice that evolves and holds.
Really good
A strikingly unorthodox rye that defies category expectations with its fruity, candy-like character while still delivering classic rye spice on the finish.
