100% rye
Nose
Floral and aromatic with baking spice, anise, juniper berry, cedar, black licorice, red fruit, and mint—notably absent the typical black pepper found in many rye whiskeys.
Palate
Very sweet with honey-forward character, biscuit with honey butter and cinnamon notes, minimal spice despite the 100% rye composition, surprisingly dessert-like rather than peppery.
Finish
Black walnut with lingering anise and honey, medium length with sustained sweetness.
Overall Score
4.1 / 5
An unusually sweet and approachable 100% rye whiskey with floral and baking spice character that works beautifully as a dessert sipper and in cocktails.
