Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of maple nut fudge, chocolate cereal, spiced nuts and deep fried pickle, and caramel buttercream with a silky, vibrant, medium-to-full body and a warming, very long finish with notes of mango chutney on raisin rye toast, chocolate coconut macaroon, and old oak and leather. A brilliantly rich, suave, and satisfying Bottled in Bond Rye that hits all of the high notes as it sweeps you off your feet.
