Golden-pale straw color. Lots of quickly appearing legs. Nose is loaded with rye notes: baking spices, tart dried fruits, golden raspberries, candied oranges, and a bit of semi sweet barn funk. Slowly building warming effect starts early and magnifies after the swallow. Larger than anticipated mouthfeel, coats the mouth with light caramel, immediately replaced with a bit of oakey dryness and plenty of that tart fruit and spice. Big with plenty going on. A bit more Barrel contribution would really round it out. Incredible value and I suspect that this distillery will only continue to produce more, and more well-balanced and nuanced products.
