Nose
Dark rye bread, caraway, black pepper. A savoury, almost austere opening that recalls a Finnish bakery — dense, grainy, earthy. Beneath the rye, a thread of vanilla and dried herbs.
Palate
Bold and spicy — rye dominates with crackling pepper, dark bread crust and a dry cereal intensity. The spirit has real weight and conviction, with mid-palate notes of dark chocolate, dried orange peel and a subtle maltiness providing counterpoint to the grain's assertiveness.
Finish
Long, dry, with rye spice, dark bread and a lingering peppery warmth.
Expert Review
