Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich copper-amber, with honey-gold highlights and a burnished mahogany edge.
Nose
Potent rye spice unfurls first: black pepper, cinnamon and clove ride a wave of charred oak. Creamy vanilla, toffee and maple mingle with orange zest, dried fig and hazelnut. A warm, resinous backbone hints at cedar and oak, while subtle molasses sweetness lingers, inviting a measured, fragrant swirl.
Palate
Powerful and layered on the palate, rye spice leads the way with bold, peppery warmth, unfolding into caramel, toffee and dark cocoa. Dried fruit, orange zest and vanilla weave through oaken depth, building sweetness with balance. The high-proof texture is velvety yet driving, finishing long with cedar, baking spice and a lingering rye heat.
Finish
Powerful and enduring, this cask-strength rye lingers with heated rye spice and oak, a warm wave of vanilla and caramel that tapers to charred wood. Nutmeg, black pepper and a subtle citrus rind carry the palate into a long, dry, peppery finish, leaving a resonant, toasty glow.
