Tasting Notes

Nose

Pumpernickel bread, dill, vanilla bean, baking spice and a whisper of orchard fruit.

Palate

Bold rye spice up front — clove, cracked pepper, rye bread crust — softened by butterscotch, caramel and toasted oak.

Finish

Long, warming and unmistakably rye-forward, with lingering vanilla and a dry peppery fade.

Expert Review

9.1/10

The 90% rye blend that Jim Murray crowned World Whisky of the Year 2016 — and shocked the whisky establishment.
