Nose
A mint-forward, rye-spice aroma opens with clove and eucalyptus, cool and vibrant. Dark chocolate and honey weave through, adding richness and a subtle barrel-aged sweetness.
Palate
Bold and expressive on the palate, this rye leads with bright mint and eucalyptus, backed by ample spice and cloves. Rich chocolate and honey weave through the mid-palate, while barrel-proof warmth amplifies depth and texture. A creamy mouthfeel lingers into a long, peppery finish that showcases the rye’s undeniable punch.
Finish
Long, warming finish with a bright rye snap of mint and spice, entwined with cloves and eucalyptus. Dark chocolate and honey echo as the heat slowly fades, leaving a peppery, oaked glow that lingers and softly fades.
