Big, beautiful nose packed with flavor: Blackberry, cherry cola, clove, anise, cocoa.
Lovely viscosity. Blackberry, clove, cinnamon, gingerbread, molasses, toffee.
Long, thoroughly satisfying finish. Toasted marshmallow and a big Cinnamon Toast Crunch note emerge at the forefront, followed by gingerbread, clove and dark chocolate caramels.
A truly outstanding rye whiskey. It’s jammy and spicy, and the finish wraps things up with some satisfying sweetness.
