• Palate: Bold flavors of sweet malted rye, accented by spicy cinnamon, nutty undertones, and bright cherry wood.
• Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering impressions of grape cola, tangy grape leaf, and a warming spiced rye character.

Production Details:

• Mashbill: Made from 100% malted rye, staying true to traditional rye whiskey craftsmanship.
