Sweet corn and rye sting hit first on the nose, then a fruity caramel. Sherry notes and a hint of orange peel as well. On the first taste a wash of pepper, rye spice, and sherry-influenced fruit. Quite surprisingly soft on the palate, a bourbony initial presence that barely registers alcohol. It's practically mellifluent. After sitting on the tongue the rye spice comes out more powerfully.
