Tasting Notes: An absolute beast of a rye. The nose is rich and sugary with huge oak presence to boot.  There’s this salted caramel-like fragrance to the nose I often call out in dusty whiskey - the longer it rests you can begin to peel apart layers of dried dark fruits, slightly salted cured meats, and buttery toasted wood notes, like cracking open a hard cream soda fireside.

The palate is viscous and velvety, with this lovely dance of sweet and savory. There’s a beautifully coating tannin down the sides of the tongue, as one end of the flavor pulls towards cranberry and dark cherry pastry while the other pulls towards a slightly smoked caramel.

The finish is deep and satisfying, like a fresh slice of sourdough with sour cherries and warm butter before moving to spiced dark chocolate notes and long linger of sweet oak.
