Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of buttered buckwheat pancakes and caramel corn, toasted meringue and coconut flakes, aloe and leaf wrapped cheese, and yams with a supple, crisp, dry-yet-fruity full body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish with accents of caramelized root vegetables and fennel, pineapple yogurt, and mint tea. A creamy and fruity Rye that is texturally rich; wild and worth the bottle.

Rye Whisky must contain a minimum of 51% rye grain, be distilled at less than 80% ABV (160 proof) and be aged for a minimum of two years in new charred barrels. A small amount of straight Rye whiskey is bottled and marketed, but most of the industry production is blended into other whiskies to give them additional character and structure. Canadians frequently refer to their whisky as "Rye," though it is in fact made primarily from corn or wheat. A Cask-Finished Rye Whiskey will undergo additional maturation in one or more barrels, the previous contents of which contribute to the aromas and flavors of the final product. Examples include but are not limited to used Rum, Cognac, Port, Sherry, Madeira, Stout, and maple barrels.
