Tasting Notes
"Sweet notes dominate the nose, with caramel, vanilla and butterscotch backed by rye spice paired with a distinctive cream soda aroma. On the palate, the rye comes to the forefront, along with brown sugar and oak. A pleasant and lingering warm finish leaves final notes of black pepper, rye spice, oak and a touch of caramel. A very smooth and well-rounded dram, and a good reminder why all those "craft" brands are sourcing MGP whiskey to begin with for their own labels. "
