Tasting Notes: This whiskey has incredible layers to it if you just let them develop, though if you are looking for a sweet-forward Kentucky-style rye, you won’t find that here.

The nose is elegant, gently layered with plum and date syrup, but also with softly mature oak and torched orange peel. Lightly candied with buttermint and white pepper, it moves to cooked caramel and sage before developing into baked green apple.

The palate is velvety and proofy, almost sticking to the tongue and top of the mouth, with dark honey on the first sips. Rich oak, pine, grape concentrate, honeysuckle, and anise join dark chocolate bark in a long, dense, slightly vanilla-sweetened profile as it continues to open.

The finish is long and herbal, almost giving it a digestif-like characteristic with an anise/root beer float-like quality, while remaining plump and a bit jammy with reduced dark fruit concentrate, lingering chocolate, and soft effervescence.
