Tasting Notes
- Nose
- Bright wintergreen, cracked black pepper, orange oil, toasted rye bread, dark honey, and seasoned oak rise from the glass with intensity.
-
Palate
Full-bodied and spice driven. Notes of caramelized brown sugar, clove, candied ginger, stone fruit, mint leaf, and a backbone of rye grain power. Mid palate warmth unfolds into layers of roasted nuts and dark chocolate. -
Finish
Long, warming, and unapologetically rye-forward lingering pepper spice, oak char, a hint of molasses, and cooling mint echo into the close.
