Spearmint, cherry, pecan, brown sugar, marshmallow, vanilla, rye spice.

Nose: reminds me of Willet 4 year rye but more pronounced. Earthy, citrus, orange peels, lemongrass and nuttiness on the nose. Taste is bold and full. Citrus, lots of orange, oakiness, rye spice, black pepper finish. Rye spice lingers with black pepper on a very oily and long lasting palate.

The barrels come from MGP but, the blending and bottling is by Castle & Key. The final selection is made Pinhook founder and master taster Sean Josephs. This is a fine example of a 95/5 rye. Don’t pass it up.
