Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of charcoal briquets, plank roasted fruits, floury caraway rye custard pastry, and elderflower and pepper with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a warming, delightful, long finish manifesting notes of dark toasted panettone, melted peppermint ice cream, hint of asian spices, and summer stone fruit salad. A creamy, spicy Rye that will play nicely in cocktails, especially tiki ones.
