Tasting Notes
"By using used barrels, the rye notes can make more of an impression without excessive smoke or vanilla. With this much time in the barrel, however, there are some lovely barrel spices and caramel sweetness to round out the whiskey. This is one to slowly sip. It has a nice brandied cherry finish on the end, just like if you'd taken one soaked in your Manhattan cocktail."
