Description
Aroma
First Impression: Don’t be surprised by a slightly subdued initial nose. Some describe it as grassy, with hints of fresh-cut hay.
Deeper Sniffs: As you take a deeper breath, a surprising sweetness emerges. Think ripe starfruit, honeydew melon, or even a touch of caramel. This sweetness is balanced by earthy undertones, with some reviewers mentioning a hint of pipe tobacco or leather.
Palate
First Sip: The initial taste can be deceiving. It starts off relatively smooth, with some subtle grassy notes lingering from the aroma.
Midpalate: As the whiskey develops on your tongue, the signature rye spice kicks in. It’s a warming sensation, but not overpowering. The surprising sweetness from the aroma returns, creating a pleasant balance between the spice and subtle fruitiness. Some reviewers also detect a hint of malty character from the barley used in the mash bill.
Finish: The rye spice takes center stage in the finish, leaving a lingering warmth with hints of black pepper and molasses. Some describe the finish as drying, with a touch of oak influence.
