Nose: Bold rye spice with hints of char and oak; perhaps baking spice and dark caramel.
Palate: Rich, spicy rye character with peppery zest, dark caramel, and toffee undertones.
Finish: Long, warming; lingering rye spice, oak tannin, slight sweetness from aging.
Neat: Sip on its own in a tulip or whiskey glass to appreciate the bonded rye strength and complexity.
On the Rocks: A large ice cube can help open the flavors while still maintaining the bold profile.
Cocktails: Excellent in classic rye-forward cocktails like a Rye Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or even a Boulevardier variation — where its strong character can hold up and contribute depth.
