Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of rye toast grilled over a wood fire, grilled and spiced peach, sweet grass, and marzipan with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, delightful, medium-long finish conveying notes of caramel and vanilla, rye and pumpernickel, cinnamon and peppercorns, and dried herbs. A damn good versatile Rye Whiskey that is more than good enough to sip, with lots of flavors that hit the nose and palate from all different angles.
