About This Whiskey

Rye grain for this bottling is sheared to draw more flavour out of it.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Cracked black pepper and orange zest over butterscotch, with light cedar behind.
- Palate: Soft on entry, then rye spice builds with citrus peel, vanilla fudge and a little sweet oak.
- Finish: Clean and medium length, peppery at the close with a trace of toffee.
Serving & Food
Serve at room temperature in a small tulip or rocks glass, neat or over one large cube. At the table try it with smoked duck breast, cha siu or a slice of rye-crust apple pie.
Good to Know
Is it good in a Manhattan? Yes. It's a dependable Manhattan base.
How spicy is it? Gentle for a rye, rounded by butterscotch.
