Subtle floral hints of mint and marjoram add freshness, while toasty oak and leather linger in the background. The aromas are forceful and unapologetically intense, drawing you into its bold profile.
👅 Palate
Burnt orange peel and robust dry oak open with blackstrap molasses and toasted rye spice, creating a dark, punchy intensity uncommon in high-proof ryes. Vanilla cream and gingerbread provide balance amid light astringency and chewy mouthfeel. The high proof asserts itself with precision, blending sweetness and heat seamlessly.
