The nose is a wonderful mix of creamy oak, bubblegum, floral rye and sweet fruit. It comes across as very well balanced and unmistakably rye. Its very approachable and draws you in for a sip. The palate starts with a burst of rye spice that gently builds up, along with creamy oak and sweet fruit. It is very simple yet full flavored, packing a lot of body. The finish is long, spicy and oaky. The palate lingers in the mouth and offers a bit of a chew for more flavor. A wonderful sipping rye.
