House Review
  • Nose:

    Strong honey influence with plenty of rye beneath. Honey, butterscotch, cinnamon, black pepper and a vegetal note.

  • Taste:

    Moderate mouthfeel. Honey and butterscotch once again mingle with spice: nutmeg, cinnamon, clove. Pretty balanced in flavor.

  • Finish:

    More honey on the finish, joined by peppercorns, cinnamon, nutmeg and a sprig of mint.

  • Overall:

    A really nice expression. The rye spice works well with the honey, delivering a nicely balanced sip.

  • Score:

    88
