Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Producer's Tasting Notes

    • Butterscotch and cinnamon with a hint of cherries on the nose.

      Warming, rich, toasty vanilla and caramel up front with a dry oaky spice on the finish.

  • Distributor's Notes

    • Nose

      Thick and rich, with black treacle, black pepper, freshly varnished decking and gentle spice – much less overt spice than you’d expect from a rye.

    • Palate

      Remarkably mellow to start, despite the strength. Buttered toast and brown sugar sit at the front of the palate, but once you are past those, the barrel strength and rye spice make themselves known. Cinnamon and clove roll in, with intense fruitiness and chocolate.

    • Finish

      Here’s where the rye was hiding – a long and spicy end, with a touch of mint hanging around after everything else has gone.

    • Comment

      While this seems initially to be a soft and gentle rye whiskey, that’s definitely not the case – approachable, but still packed with flavour and spice.

    Bought this at Whiskey Live in London and very happy. Tasting notes are spot on. It starts very smooth and had a kick at the back end. I haven't tried it in a Manhattan yet but I fear the subtle notes upfront maybe overpowered and as such this should really be sipped. Lovely stuff though!

    Very nice rye. Real fudge and caramel explodes on the palate followed by a spicy rye finish. Try it!
