Nose
Very mature — oak, leather, molasses, and all-spice with hints of mint and eucalyptus. Rich, seasoned oak and aged leather, with notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and pepper.
Palate
Mellow and warming — dry sweetness, cinnamon, vanilla, and a lingering pepper note from the rye grain backbone. Smooth and layered with mellow spice, subtle allspice, molasses, and mint.
Finish
Very long — mint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, vanilla, and a lingering pepper that fades slowly into a warm oak close. Long, warming, and complex, with echoes of cinnamon, oak, and a touch of mint, leaving a lingering peppery note and a hint of leather.
