HOW TO SERVE
Great with Peychaud's in a Sazerac, add peaches in fall for a Whisky Smash. Great on its own neat or over a large rock.
X-FACTOR
Quite complex offering bold, ripe fruit flavors with earthy, cellar notes.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, medium copper color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of banana bread, stone fruit, and peach with supporting notes of black plum, caramel, caraway, and baking spices. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a rye-driven core with flavors of baked apple, nectarine, blanched almonds, honey, and chocolate. The finish is sharp. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a vibrant texture.
