Tasting Notes
"The grassier, "greener" side of rye is foremost in the nose and palates with aromas and flavors of parsley, tarragon, green apple, and roasted green tea. Notes of cocoa, clove, cinnamon, and toasted rye bread add aromatic depth and warmth. There's a classic hot kick of spice mixing with the grassy and chocolatey flavors adding to the finish of this flavorful and versatile rye. "
