Tasting Notes

Nose

It smelled like a sweet rye bourbon. We are greeted with a lovely rye spice and alcohol. Nosing the bourbon, a bit more there are notes of grass, vanilla, clover, and earth tones. Overall, it is pleasant but there isn’t a lot of depth to the nose.

Palate

Surprisingly smooth for a high rye. I find notes of sweet corn, lemon at the front. The taste evolves across the palate to reveal worn leather and char at about the mid palate. The flavors give way to a robust finish of dry oak, rye, and a bready flavor. Into the finish it peaks immediately and evenly dissipates off the tongue.
