Tasting Notes
"An 18 year old, 100% rye mashbill whiskey is going to draw attention, especially when it's bottled at 109 proof. The long ageing has tamed the spice of this rye to bring out notes of banana bread, candied ginger, and vanilla, with a touch of charred wood lurking the background. The finish is long and warming with a hint of cherry. This is a rye lover's whiskey, and despite its high proof it's easy to enjoy without any ice or water; break this bottle out on special occasions."
