Tasting Notes
Nose
Sweet candy combined with slight glassy rye, somewhat earthy notes, hints of citrus orange peel, spice and white pepper
Palate
A tremendous complexity of spices, vanilla, butterscotch and pepper, beautifully complimented with just enough rum sweetness to complete the full flavor profile
Finish
Very long and enjoyable, with the rye characteristics predominant, but wonderfully enhanced with a touch of sweet, rich molasses and buttery mouthfeel
