Tasting Notes

Appearance

Deep amber with golden undertones and a medium viscosity in the glass.

Aroma

A rich, layered nose of vanilla bean, caramel drizzle, and warm baking spices, backed by subtle notes of dried cherry, fresh mint, and a touch of leather.

Palate

Silky on entry with flavors of butterscotch, cinnamon, chocolate mint, and toasted oak. Hints of apple and pear provide a fruity lift, while the rye grain contributes a gentle spice that builds through the sip.

Finish

Medium to long finish, warm and clean, with echoes of vanilla, honey, and lingering oak spice.
