Nose
Highly aromatic and seductive, with fragrant characteristics that draw you in immediately. Displays caramel, toffee, citrus notes including orange peel, floral elements, and a hint of evergreen from the rye character.
Palate
Initially presents all barrel on the first taste with some bitterness and structural tannins, but on the second taste opens up to reveal caramels, toffees, fruit, and floral notes. The rye component adds a subtle green element that makes it complex and fascinating. Sweet and slightly savory with a dry aspect on the center palate.
Finish
Long and satisfying with the barrel structure providing backbone, transitioning smoothly as the secondary flavors develop.
Overall Score
