Tasting Notes

"Rye is quite evident in the nose, with notes of baked scones, oak, brown sugar and cereal grains. On the palate, sweet vanilla notes are interspersed with big cinnamon flavors. Underneath it all, rich oak, toasted almond and orange peel are detectable along with fresh spearmint and cocoa nib. The finish is short but satisfying with orange blossoms, tea spices and clove making appearances against a background of oak and cinnamon. "
