Tasting Notes
"The idea was to create a whiskey that has the spiciness of rye and the sweeter softness of wheat. You can definitely taste both. In fact, it tastes like buttered wheat toast with cinnamon sugar on top! The rye aspect also brings a sharp ginger note, slightly overtaking the cereal quality of the wheat. A fun sip and a great one to suggest for something that's completely different."
