Tasting Notes

Nose

Dark toffee, charred wood, black pepper and cardamom. Beneath the char sits a layer of stewed plum and rye bread crust, with a menthol coolness that emerges after a few minutes in the glass.

Palate

Dense and chewy — dark chocolate, espresso, rye spice that crackles across the tongue. Toasted oak brings vanilla and char, but the grain never surrenders. Mid-palate opens into dried fig and a savoury, almost umami depth.

Finish

Long, with dark roast coffee, clove and lingering rye heat that refuses to leave quietly.

Expert Review

8.5/10

Dark-toasted oak transforms Lot 40's rye backbone into something rich, brooding and utterly compelling.
