Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of butter pecan, cinnamon and nutmeg, black tea, and grilled orange with a round, vibrant, bone-dry medium-to-full body and a peppery, charming, long finish with notes of caramel and vanilla, mint and savory green herbs, toasted rye bread with caraway seeds, chocolate, black pepper, and and raisin bran. A bold rye with a nice balance of rye spice, barrel, and age; good enough to sip alone but with the strength and flavor intensity to be exceptional in cocktails.
