Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-bronze highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
A bright citrus lift—grapefruit zest—meets a core of rye spice and white pepper, unfolding into vanilla sweetness and cocoa. American oak lends a warm, toasted backbone, yielding a refined, bold bouquet that promises a robust yet balanced rye.
Palate
On the palate, bold rye spice unfolds with peppery, zesty citrus riding a bright core. Vanilla sweetness and cocoa weave through the mid-palate, while American oak lends a velvety, lingering warmth.
Finish
Long and warming, it releases bright citrus zest and peppery rye that slowly fades into vanilla and cocoa, tempered by sturdy American oak.
