From the first nosing, you can tell this rye is something unique.

Crisp Granny Smith gives way to baked apple and finally Dutch apple pie, layered with dense brown sugar, caramel, lemon-lime gummy rings, and aromatic baking spices. Beneath that, deep tones of sweet earth, tobacco, and leather, more often found in much older ryes, add surprising depth to an already shapeshifting pour.

On the palate, bright lemon, eucalyptus oil, and fudge covered mint chocolate chip ice cream blanket the senses, before softening into vanilla mint, tobacco, and musty sweet oak that carry into the finish.

It closes with rich dark berries, lingering lemon oil, licorice, and dark chocolate in a long, oily finish.
