Aromas of fresh cinnamon, black peppercorn, a hint of tangerine and grapefruit zest. Powerfully spicy, with cocoa, cardamom and cured leather flavors. Wonderfully lengthy, with baking spices, vanilla and hints of citrus.

A honey hue and rich vanilla aroma mark this six-year-old rye whiskey. The palate nods to its 100% rye grain mash bill, opening with brisk cinnamon and allspice sparks that round into mellower vanilla and caramel midpalate, finishing long and spiced. Adding water brings more vanilla to the fore and adds a toasted grain note to the finish.
