The 2026 release is bottled at 92.8 proof (46.4% ABV) and carries a suggested retail price of $210.

  • By Richard Thomas
  • The spicy side grows on the sip from sweet and minty to herbal and peppery, taking on a woody aspect along the way, with the earthy note turning musty.

  • The Whiskey Wash
  • By Jeff Bogursky
  • Dark sweetness redolent of molasses, with a light vanilla lilt as it vaporizes on the tongue. Cinnamon, nutmeg, crisp apple, yellow bell pepper, a bit of red hot candy.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Sweet nose full of toasted oak flavors: custard, cocoa powder, tobacco, clove, maple cream, plus a nice apple note.

  • Taste:

    The palate delivers a tannic, silky and mouth-coating mouthfeel and a well balanced profile of cinnamon, gingerbread, apple bake, graham cracker, toasted marshmallow, maple and sassafras, plus plenty of oak.

  • Finish:

    The finish leads with a wall of oak and then gently introduces honey, cinnamon, coffee grounds and gingerbread.

  • Overall:

    A beautiful, oaky rye whiskey full of sweetness and spice.
