HOW TO SERVE
Ideal neat with just a splash of water or over one large cube of ice. We love this in all of our favorite Whiskey cocktails but crave it in a Manhattan.
X-FACTOR
Beautifully constructed and built to please — a Bourbon drinkers Rye for all the right reasons.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, medium tawny/amber color. The nose is subtle, offering scents of dried fruits, peach, cardamon, cashew, rye, and grains with supporting notes of leather, mineral, and marzipan. The palate echoes the nose delivering a baking spices-driven core with flavors akin to gingerbread, cereal, and earth. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a supple texture.
