Tasting Notes

About:

90 proof (45% ABV), Mash Bill: 90% rye and 10% malted barley. Aged four years.
Appearance:
This whiskey is the color of petrified amber.
Nose:
The nose opens with strong bourbon notes of caramel sauce, banana and buttery french toast. It is rounded out by the cooling flavors of anise, mint and ginger.
Palate:
This is pleasantly sweet and earthy like frosted corn flakes drenched in oat milk. Vanilla bean, caramel and bubblegum are forward in the mid palate. A light and delicate albeit slightly oily mouthfeel accompanies a short finish of cinnamon, dates and ripe cherry.
