Tasting Notes

At 30% rye this is about as spice-forward as bourbon gets before becoming rye whiskey. Peppery and herbal with mint and dill, non-chill-filtered for texture, and noticeably dry rather than sweet.

Nose

rye spice, mint, green apple, cereal

Palate

black pepper, clove, dill, young oak

Finish

long, dry, peppery

Best enjoyed neat, old-fashioned, cocktails.
