Nose: rich oak. Toffee. Deep amber color. Dark chocolate. Dark fruit. Vanilla. Cream. Palate: Oak. Cocoa. Caramel. Vanilla. The oak is well developed but not overpowering. Complex symphony of flavors. Sweet cake-like notes from the rye. This ryed distillate aged beautifully. Finish: All the best flavors left a medium-long impression. Ends with toffee, caramel, oak, sweet mellow rye.
