Assertive rye spice leads with cracked black pepper, fresh mint, and dried herbs, softened by caramel and vanilla sweetness. Notes of cinnamon bark, clove, and light oak provide depth to this spicy, invigorating nose.
The palate showcases classic rye character with peppery spice, cool mint, and herbal notes balanced by caramel and vanilla sweetness. Medium-bodied with a lively, crisp texture carrying flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and charred oak.
The finish is moderately long and warm with persistent rye spice, lingering pepper, and a sweet oak fade.
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.
