NOSE: Peppery spice mixes with crisp fruit scents of pear, apple, and green grapes to form an initial impression that leans a little more towards fruit than it does spice. Inhaling deeper brings out a candy-like sweet note that’s hard to pinpoint, but is akin to maple sugar candy. The potency of the aroma is light compared to the rest of the sip, but enjoyable nonetheless.
PALATE: It takes only a first impression to realize this whiskey is unlike most other ryes. Bold rye spice meets fresh mint leaves up front. Waves of barrel char, black pepper, and cinnamon follow. Hints of maple sugar candy and molasses add a sweet note. All of these flavors rest on an unusually rich earthy base that is ultimately the principal factor contributing to the whiskey’s uniqueness, though not the only one. It’s somewhat shocking at first due to how untraditional it is, and takes some time with the whiskey to fully appreciate what it has to offer.
FINISH: The whiskey’s earthy undertone continues into the finish along with persistent rye spice. Sweeter flavors of vanilla custard and burnt brown sugar emerge, transitioning the finish from spicy to sweet as it breaks down on your palate. It’s a great ending to an impressive and memorable sip.
