Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of baking rye bread, vanilla, caramel corn, dried apricot, leather and cinnamon dusted pralines, brown sugar, pipe tobacco, and and black pepper with a round, lively, dry medium body and a warming, elegant, medium-length finish that exhibits accents of black pepper and vanilla, cracker jacks, vanilla creme brulee with caramel pepper corn crust, and pumpernickel toast. Powerful but deliciously bold barrel influences balance out the rye spice and make this a delightful stand alone sipper or a great base for elevated cocktails.
