Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Amber gold with copper tones; rich color from 7 years of aging, medium-full legs
- Nose
- Sweet barrel notes balanced with spicy rye character. Cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and caramel with dried fruit and grain spice. The deep char barrels add a toasted quality
- Palate
- Full-bodied at 100 proof. Perfect balance between sweet barrel notes and spicy rye character — cinnamon, black pepper, rye grain spice balanced by vanilla, caramel, and dark fruit sweetness. The 7-year aging rounds the rye's natural spiciness into something harmonious
- Finish
- Long finish with rye spice, oak, vanilla, and lingering warmth. The 100 proof sustains the spice through a satisfying fade. One of the best-value rye whiskeys on the market
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
