Tasting Notes
"The older portions of rye act a bit like makeup. Delicate vanilla, fruit leathers, bananas foster, and bubble gum make for a strange bouquet. Although the palate shows a little more maturity with dry spices and clarified butter, its younger side rears its head with bitter grains and herbs. It seems difficult to keep these whiskeys in step with each other."
