Nose
Sweet and spicy with prominent rye spice, caramel, vanilla, new oak character, and a light licorice note reminiscent of cherry Twizzlers. Rye bread and Reuben-like qualities present.
Palate
Initial sweetness followed by rye spice throughout. Spicy caramel with licorice and cherry notes. Some bitterness balanced by the sweetness. Medium body without excessive burn despite the rye content. Light oak presence.
Finish
Medium length finish with lingering sweetness that gradually tapers. Spice drizzles off rather than persisting. Light finish appropriate to the proof level.
Satisfying
A well-crafted Utah craft bourbon with notable rye influence that delivers a pleasant balance of spice and sweetness, suitable for spring and summer sipping.
