The nose is a burst of floral rye spice and prominent charred oak. Spearmint mixes with white pepper and faint hints of vanilla and butterscotch. The palate is hot and peppery, and full lf charred oak. It is quite sharp of rye, leaving everything else in the background. Its very bold, but enjoyable in its simplicity. The finish is long and spicy with a tingling heat lingering. A slight oaky astringency fades and while its a bit intense, you're immediately ready for the next sip.
