Tasting Notes:
Notes of chocolate and smoke on the nose. The palate is rich and smooth with bold spice and honeyed sweetness. The palate is balanced and bold and characterful, echoing rich, and smooth notes on the nose. Dry tannins accentuate the complex rye character’s peppery notes. The finish is lingering and warm with flavors of baking spice.
