Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, reddish-brown edge.
Nose
Bold rye spice and pepper rise from the glass, balanced by caramel sweetness and vanilla. Toasted American oak adds depth, while dry grain lends a crisp, structured backbone to the aroma.
Palate
Rich and full-bodied, the palate delivers bold rye spice—peppery and savory—woven with toasted oak and caramel sweetness. Vanilla notes brighten the mid-palate as dry grain adds structure, while the 55.9% ABV brings a warming, velvety mouthfeel that lingers with spice and oak into a long, refined finish.
Finish
Long, richly warming finish where bold rye spice lingers, woven with charred oak and caramel sweetness. Vanilla threads through a peppery bite, while dry grain adds a taut, refined edge, letting the high-proof warmth persist into a lingering glow.
