Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Deep amber with warm copper highlights.

Nose:
Intense rye spice upfront, followed by toasted oak, vanilla bean, honeycomb, cracked black pepper, and hints of dried cherry and orange peel.

Palate:
Full-bodied and powerful. Layers of dark caramel, brown sugar, baking spices, cocoa powder, and roasted nuts balance beautifully with bold rye grain character and oak char.

Finish:
Long, warming, and complex. Lingering notes of molasses, oak spice, black pepper, and dark chocolate fade slowly with a classic rye bite.
