X-FACTOR
We loved the red wine cask as it brings out the natural fruits found in the Rye. It's a wine lover's Whiskey.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, deep mahogany color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of raisin, dark chocolate, baking spices, and cocoa with supporting notes of red cherry, mocha, and toffee. The palate confirms the nose delivering a baking spices-driven core with flavors of apricot, baked apple, brown sugar, charred oak, vanilla bean, and Sherry. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a succulent texture.
