Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Expect prominent rye spice with cinnamon, allspice, and black pepper leading the charge. Underneath lies cherry, caramel, and vanilla sweetness with subtle oak and herbal notes creating a complex, layered bouquet.
👅 Palate
The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy despite the higher proof, with bold rye spices balanced by red fruit notes and warming caramel. The barrel-strength proof amplifies the whiskey's structural elements, revealing more oak tannins and peppery heat than the standard expression.
✨ Finish
A long, warming finish with toasted oak, black pepper, and hints of sherry sweetness. The elevated proof extends the finish's complexity, leaving a pleasant dry spice that gradually fades.
