Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with coppery highlights and a warm, sun-kissed golden glow.
Nose
Rich, warm notes of vanilla custard and caramel rise above a toasted oak backbone. A generous kiss of rye spice—pepper, cinnamon and clove—adds savory depth, woven with dark sugar and a touch of molasses. Subtle citrus zest lurks behind the spice, while the barrel’s char imparts a smoky, resinous finish that invites a deeper sip.
Palate
Bold and full-bodied, with a savory spine of rye spice—black pepper, cinnamon, and clove—woven into caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. The high-rye profile keeps the palate lively, while toffee and almond notes lend richness, and a warming, lingering finish carries a hint of cocoa.
Finish
Long, warming finish with bold rye-spice persistence; pepper and cinnamon linger as toasted oak unfolds, giving way to vanilla and caramel sweetness that slowly fades into a resinous, tobacco-dusted oak echo.
