Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Amber gold; the rye mashbill and multi-state maturation journey create a distinctive colour
- Nose
- Bold and decadent with praline, nutmeg and white pepper. Rye spice and grain dominate with a candied orange note emerging
- Palate
- Light vanilla cream, caramelized sugar and unmistakable rye spice. Bold rye grain upfront, then candied orange mid-palate allows sweetness to mingle. 100% rye mashbill sourced from Canada to American straight rye specifications, aged in New York 4+ years then rested in used Uncle Nearest barrels in Tennessee
- Finish
- White pepper note with a touch of leather and seasoned oak on the finish. Medium length with lingering spice
