Golden amber color. Curious aromas of eucalyptus herbal soap, citronella candle, sassafras and black tea, and buttered toast and clay with a round, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a seamless, intriguing, medium-long bbq smoked fruits, chocolate chip cookies, fig jam, and marzipan finish. A sassy yet smooth, herbal Rye that takes you on a lovely, layered flavor journey.
