Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Rich amber; unfiltered presentation retains natural oils and colour compounds from the barrel
- Nose
- Soft yet inviting grain, sweet scents, and a pleasing waft of summer berries. Christmas spices, cinnamon, pear, and wheat
- Palate
- Big hit of rye spice right out of the gate, mellowing into walnut. Long warmth before turning into a burn. Near 120 proof. Peanut funk, sweet caramel, and clean dryness. Distillery exclusive — newest addition to the Master Blend Edition portfolio. Uncut and unfiltered for maximum barrel character
- Finish
- Dry finish causing a slight puckering. Clean dryness of the tongue with lingering rye spice and caramel
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
