Tasting Notes
"Vanilla and spearmint lead on the nose, along with cloves, cinnamon, and sour cherries. The palate starts dry, with cedar, rye spice, and barrel char, and also offers expressed orange peel, brown sugar, burnt toasted, and spent coffee grounds. The finish turns richer, with chocolate syrup, caramel, and corn bread, as well as black pepper. A balanced rye that bourbon drinkers would appreciate as opposed to the 95% ryes so prevalent on the market."
