Bronze color. Aromas and flavors of plasticine and morning dew on the lawn, wet modeling clay, lemon bar and ginseng tea, and candied orange peel with a silky, bright, dry medium body and a tingling, medium-length finish that exhibits accents of vanilla and peanut brittle, milk chocolate with shaved coconut, cracked pepper with dried red fruits, and marzipan. A classical youthful Rye nose and palate makes for a tasty Whiskey that will benefit from additional years in barrel.
