Tasting Notes
"The aroma is pleasant with cherry fruit, sweet vanilla, and a light smoky char note. A mix of barrel spices, a gentle herbal note, and wax are a few more notes found on the nose. The rye spice is moderate on the palate--not too punchy or intense, but present. The cherry note found on the nose is here as is the char smoke. The bittersweet finish is fruity and of medium length. Although a Sazerac Cocktail seems like the way to go, this would be great in a Manhattan as well."
