Tasting Notes
"This cask strength rye starts by electrocuting the palate with rich rye spices that build with the heat of chili pepper. Toasted cereal, mild solvents and banana custard connect on the nose with a tight oak structure that hits the palate with a flash. Sweet and dark fruits shift to a dry finish of cinnamon and cocoa powder accented with loads of cracked rye grain. Adding water uncovers layers and softens the face-melting rye spice. "
