🔬 Whiskey Details
🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Delicate and refined with high-rye mashbill aromatics of cracked black pepper, dried herbs, and honeysuckle. Subtle notes of tea leaves, light caramel, and a whisper of mint create an elegant, almost floral bouquet with restrained sweetness.
Smooth and approachable with gentle rye spice playing against soft honey and vanilla notes. The light body carries flavors of white pepper, dried flowers, subtle oak, and hints of citrus zest with minimal heat despite the proof.
Short to medium finish with a pleasant peppery tingle, fading honey sweetness, and delicate herbal notes.
🥃 How to Enjoy
The purist's choice. Full oak, vanilla, and caramel come through at room temperature with no dilution.
A single large cube slows dilution and tames heat on high-proof pours. Wheated bourbons are especially good this way.
On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.
