Dark amber color. Aromas and flavors of raisin bran cereal, banana bran muffin, rye apple pastry dough, and recently soaped saddle leather polished with mink oil with a velvety, bright, fruity full body and a sleek, very long finish displaying notes of caramelized fruits, orange mint chai, suede, and aromatic tree bark and rooibos. A sensational, flavor packed Straight Rye that captures all of the complex spiciness, verdant earthiness and nuance that rye grain is capable of delivering in a copper pot still Whiskey.
