Tasting Notes

Nose

A big hit of rye spice followed by Christmas spices. I found cinnamon, pear, and wheat, all floating through a nice blanket of alcohol. The back end of the nose was typical oak and char. Very clean nose, pleasant.

Palate

You are hit with that lovely rye spice right out of the gate. It mellows into walnut, with a long warmth before turning into a burn. Upon the second and third tastes I found charcoal, worn leather, and oak. The mouthfeel is not as oily as I would have expected, but not too watery either. The finish is dry and causes a little puckering. With successive breaths, I found some peanut funk, sweet caramel, and a clean dryness of the tongue. The finish wasn’t long and eventually the smooth warming turned into a solid burn.
