  • Absolutely delicious rye. That green spice (dill, mint, pine) you expect from a 95/5 mashbill is present but smoothed out by the oak, which adds sweetness, richness and depth.

  • Nose:

    Beautiful nose full of sweet oak and candied spice. Spearmint, candied ginger, custard, orange peel.

  • Taste:

    Fantastic, thick viscosity. Plentiful oak and tannin on the palate are joined by cinnamon, candied orange, sarsaparilla, clove, dill and mint.

  • Finish:

    The finish opens with marshmallow, brown sugar and orange peel, and then moves into candied ginger, gingerbread and cloves.

  • Overall:

    Absolutely delicious rye. That green spice (dill, mint, pine) you expect from a 95/5 mashbill is present but smoothed out by the oak, which adds sweetness, richness and depth. A phenomenal whiskey, with my only knock being the balance; the spice can't quite hold up among all that oak.
