Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of cinnamon on carrot cake, chocolate rye bread, lavender candy, and grilled sage with a velvety, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a warming, appealing, medium-length finish with notes of cinnamon bread with cracked pepper, vanilla caramel cream, mint and herbs, and maple syrup. Bold spices and herbs with loads of sweet barrel character make this a Rye Whiskey worth sipping or for taking your Old Fashioned to another level.
