The nose is nicely heavy with rye and a lot of dark char. As the palate develops after the initial taste, a subtle maple sweetness quickly gives way to rye spice, caramel, oak, nutmeg, green apple, and tobacco leaf. It has a medium body with a lot of depth. The few high notes are on the back of the tongue, leaving a peppery brightness that lingers through a long finish. A very enjoyable sipper that truly celebrates everything about rye.
