Appearance: In the low light of a fall day the whiskey has the appearance of brown butter.

Nose: There’s a burn here, almost medicinal at first smell, but after a bit of opening up I caught clove, cardamom, and cocoa.

Palate: When I say fiery, I mean it. This is not what I’d consider a slow sipper. I got the pithiness of the white of a lemon, and a spice that hits the back of the throat and lingers. There isn’t much subtlety in this rye.
