📝 Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Classic rye spice leads with bright cinnamon, clove, and black pepper, complemented by softer notes of vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch. Subtle hints of mint, dill, and oak char provide traditional rye character.

👅 Palate

Crisp and spicy with pronounced rye grain character delivering cinnamon bark, white pepper, and dried herbs. Sweet undertones of vanilla and caramel provide balance, while toasted oak and a hint of anise add complexity to the moderately oily texture.

🔥 Finish

Medium-long finish with persistent rye spice, lingering cinnamon warmth, and fading notes of oak and sweet vanilla.

🥃 How to Enjoy

Recommended
🥃
Neat

The purist's choice. Full oak, vanilla, and caramel come through at room temperature with no dilution.

🧊
On the Rocks

A single large cube slows dilution and tames heat on high-proof pours. Wheated bourbons are especially good this way.

💧
With Water

On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.

💡 High-proof and single barrel releases shine neat. Save the rocks for everyday-sipper bourbons.
