Tasting Notes

"This rye has a distinctive light-amber color in the glass. The malt shows in the nose, with a hint of sweet cereal and an almost agave-like sweetness. The palate is light and incredibly lively with a blast of rye spice that carries on into the finish. The entire sipping experience is a bit one-note, but this young rye sets itself apart from many of its contemporaries by focusing more on showcasing the huge grain spice than oak influence. "
