How it drinks

Sight
Warm amber with brilliant clarity and a viscous coating on the glass.
Nose
Assertive rye spice jumps from the glass with notes of black pepper, cinnamon, and clove. Underneath lies vanilla, caramel, and hints of oak with a touch of herbaceous rye character.
Palate
Full-bodied and spicy with upfront rye grain character balanced by sweet caramel and vanilla from the bourbon cask. The palate builds with warming spice and a gentle wood influence that doesn't overpower.
Finish
Long, warming finish with lingering spice, black pepper, and a subtle oak dryness. The rye grain character persists pleasantly through the finish.

Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
