Spicy rye on the nose with pumpernickel, rich vanilla with brown sugar, and hints of sour cherries. Palate offers allspice, nutmeg and cloves, with dry oak and peanut shells. A moderate-lengthy finish showcases more rye spice and oak, with a bitter-burnt note of toast, and spearmint. Altogether—the hearty punch you'd expect from the category with an unexpected bonus in the form of rich, vanilla-infused sweetness. Begging to be used in an Old Fashioned.
