A true connoisseur's pour, designed for discerning palates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e A profound and complex aroma driven by well-integrated rye spice. Dominant notes of dried orange peel, antique leather, and dark cherry mingle with vanilla bean, faint tobacco leaf, and a delicate touch of toasted almond. There's an underpinning of seasoned oak and a hint of mint, characteristic of older rye. The lower proof allows these subtleties to emerge gracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The palate opens with a surprisingly soft and velvety texture given the rye's age. Initial flavors of candied cherry and stewed plums unfold, quickly followed by a rich burst of baking spices – cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg warmed by a gentle pepperiness. The oak influence is paramount but not overpowering, presenting as polished wood, dark chocolate, and a whisper of espresso. A touch of nutty sweetness, like marzipan, surfaces mid-palate, balancing the spice and oak marvelously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is exceptionally long and evolving, a testament to its 18 years. It lingers with notes of dark fruit leather, sweet tobacco, and a lingering warmth of rye spice. The oak resurfaces with a refined dryness, accompanied by a whisper of black tea and a subtle, satisfying hint of earthy mushroom. It's clean yet robust, inviting contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48114770837722,"sku":"BOURBON-1781562372012","price":4550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/main_366f1e9f-4b33-4114-86e3-f805b72215a5.png?v=1782586826","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/old-man-winter-single-batch-rye-94-proof","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
