Tasting Notes

Nose: A vibrant and complex nose opens with a burst of sweet baking spices – cinnamon, clove, and a hint of nutmeg – intertwined with fresh spearmint and dill. Underlying these are inviting notes of caramel, vanilla bean, and a faint whisper of orange peel, hinting at the rye's fruitier side.

Palate: The palate delivers on the nose's promise with a beautiful interplay of sweet and spicy. Initial notes of rich caramel and dark chocolate are quickly met with a lively spice kick of black pepper and robust rye. Mid-palate, flavors of dried apricot and green apple emerge, balanced by a creamy mouthfeel and a subtle herbaceousness.

Finish: The finish is medium to long, warming, and distinctly spicy. Peppermint and lingering dill notes fade into a pleasant oak dryness, with a hint of bittersweet chocolate and a final pleasant rye spice tingle that encourages another sip.
