HOW TO SERVE

Ideal neat with just a splash of water or over one large cube of ice — try it in a Manhattan with chicory bitters.

X-FACTOR

A rock star of a Rye with mass appeal as it straddles the dessert and Whiskey world.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, medium copper/bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of almond butter, caramel, marzipan, cereal, cinnamon, dried fruits, and honey with supporting notes of molasses, cocoa, and pecan. The palate confirms the nose delivering a maple soaked oak-driven core with flavors of dried fruits, vanilla bean, baking spices, marzipan, and honey. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a voluptuous texture.
