Underlying these are sweet notes of caramel chews, vanilla bean, and dried orange peel, suggesting a well-aged profile despite the rye's inherent punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The palate arrives with a robust and full-bodied presence, courtesy of the 116 proof. A velvety richness coats the mouth, immediately revealing a dynamic interplay of sugary oak, toasted almond, and dark chocolate. The rye spice follows, manifesting as cracked black pepper, caraway, and a subtle herbaceousness, balanced by a deep, molasses-like sweetness and a touch of ripe stone fruit (cherry, apricot).\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A long, warming, and ultimately satisfying finish. The spice lingers, evolving into a pleasant baking spice warmth with notes of star anise and nutmeg. Dry oak tannins emerge gently, perfectly complementing the fading sweetness of brown sugar and a whisper of espresso. The high proof leaves a pleasant, lingering heat without being overwhelming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48231837696218,"sku":"BOURBON-1784038692535","price":227.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/main_989f55bf-eb64-49da-a9c8-83e26c5884f7.png?v=1784295705","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/2019-mgp-the-senator-barrel-proof-straight-rye-whiskey-116-proof","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
