Best enjoyed Neat or with a small cube of ice to tame the rye heat
Recommended Cocktail: Makes a stellar Boulevardier or Vieux Carré for those who want to lean into the rye character
Appearance: Deep amber with a reddish tint; slow, thick legs that speak to its age and proof
Nose: Aromatic and spicy with strong notes of cracked rye grain, dill, eucalyptus, and charred oak. Beneath the spice: hints of honey, orange zest, and pipe tobacco
Palate: Bold and complex—rye spice hits first with black pepper, cinnamon, and anise. Mid-palate reveals toffee, dark honey, and herbal undertones. The oak influence is well-integrated and brings structure
Mouthfeel: Lush and slightly drying with a firm, grippy tannin on the tongue. Coats the mouth evenly and warms as it lingers
Finish: Long, spicy, and clean—leaves a trail of mint, dark chocolate, and rye bread crust. A touch of lingering oak char
