X-FACTOR

The judges remarked on this Rye's bold and rustic style.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, deep mahogany color. The aromatics are intense, offering aromas of fruitcake, black tea, molasses, and earth with supporting notes of graphite, cigar box, and red cherry. The palate is more intense than the nose delivering a dried fruits-driven core with supporting flavors of flint, charred oak, forest floor, and leather. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and largely balanced with a chewy texture.
