With 80% rye and 20% malt, and no corn, it's in the range of a traditional Pennsylvania or Monongahela rye. This release has been aged for a minimum of three years in full-size 53-gallon barrels. It's bottled at 95 proof, with an initial limited-run hitting shelves in October 2016. Expect future releases to grow in size.

Tasting Notes
"Bright spearmint leads on the nose with a range of herbal and medicinal notes, and traces of vanilla and cocoa. Find cedar and dry oak on the palate, along with more of its minty-herbal side. There's also plenty of rye spice, and lighter notes of chocolate and cloves. The finish is long and a bit hot, offering more of the same, with cedar, mint, chocolate, as well as touches of black pepper and rye spice. Finally a bit of prunes and dried fruits on the finish. Letting it open up for a few minutes offers more on the sweeter and fruity side."
