Tasting Notes

Nose: Inviting aromas of warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg greet the nose, intertwined with bright spearmint, dill, and a subtle sweetness of vanilla and caramel. Underlying notes of aged oak and a hint of citrus peel add complexity.

Palate: The palate is robust yet refined, delivering a delightful interplay of spicy and sweet. Initial waves of black pepper and clove are quickly mellowed by rich caramel, dark chocolate, and candied orange peel. The signature rye herbal notes of mint and fennel are present, balanced by a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel from the decade in oak.

Finish: A long, satisfying finish that lingers with a warm rye spice, transitioning into a pleasant dryness. Notes of toasted oak, faint tobacco, and a whisper of dark fruit, like dried cherry, emerge, leaving a clean, yet memorable impression.
