Nose
Rich and robust with unmistakable butterscotch on rye; dark toffee with floral, rose-like aromatic notes; no oak detected on the nose despite the dark color.
Palate
Menthol and minty with aromatic rye character; buttery and spicy with oak presence; velvety mouthfeel with excellent viscosity; complex layering of butterscotch and cinnamon candy notes; coats the mouth with sweet spice.
Finish
Long-lasting with building complexity; lingering velvety texture and viscosity; persistent butterscotch and cinnamon character; the stinger mentioned in the name leaves a notable spice that takes time to subside.
Excellent
A complex, barrel-proof rye with beautiful layering of butterscotch, spice, and floral notes that rewards careful sipping and contemplation.
