Clear golden amber color. Inviting aromas and flavors of cream cheese frosting, cherry soda and roasted pecan, black peach tea, and toasted multi grain bread with a satiny, flat, dry medium body and a warming, delightful, medium-length finish that presents nuances of white peach, cinnamon, and sweet tropical fruits and cocoa nib. A delicate dance of flavors on the palate; cherry and vanilla frosted gingerbread cookies float through this Straight Rye.
