Nose
True rye character with baking spice, minty herbs, and herbal tea notes. Orange peel and orange tea aromatics present with less alcohol burn than expected for the proof.
Palate
Kentucky hug hits immediately with caramel sweetness. Drying sensation on the tongue and sides of the palate, reminiscent of red wine tannins. Orange peel and spice notes from the rye grain blend with barrel-derived tannins.
Finish
Long and warming with lingering spice and oak. The finish persists for several minutes after the sip.
Very good
A sophisticated Canadian rye aged and blended in Vermont that delivers impressive complexity with a true rye character and warming autumn appeal.
