Amber color. Aromas of spiced tea, bergamot, carob, grilled nuts, and sandalwood with a satiny, bright, dry medium-to-full body and a smooth, appealing, medium-long peppercorns, marzipan, sourdough toast, cayenne, and candied fennel seed finish. A pure, grain-centric Rye Whisky with great concentration.
