Duke Founder’s Rye 98

Description

• Expect a symphony of flavors that goes beyond the usual rye spice profile.
• The initial notes offer a cherry oak influence, hinting at the first aging in American oak barrels. Imagine a touch of maraschino cherry and a dry, slightly sweet oakiness.
• This is followed by a wave of rye spice, with hints of black pepper and a touch of cinnamon. However, the rye spice is not overpowering, thanks to the double-aging process.
• The French oak casks, previously used for high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon, contribute notes of dark fruit like plum or blackberry. They might also introduce a hint of chocolate or vanilla.
