Tasting Notes

"This is an exceptionally spicy rye that hits all the essential elements of a spice rack - sweet spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice), aromatic spice (cedar, coriander, cardamom), hot spice (black pepper). It would veer into hippy patchouli territory if it weren't for the saving grace of red apples, vanilla, bittersweet chocolate and cereal notes to keep it balanced. Really pleasant, long finish without much of a burn. Rye lovers will definitely dig this and novices could taste this as a worthy primer for the category."
