Intense notes of dark cherry and dark rye on the nose with just a touch of green herbaceousness and orange tea. On the palate, the whiskey enters your mouth smooth and has a decent weight to it, but finishes bone dry. The finish shows a touch of vanilla and cinnamon with just a bit of char smoke. The nose alone is enough of an enticement to seek out a bottle of the limited supply of rye; find a specialty retailer in California for your needs
