Final Thoughts
The 12 Year Old expression reveals what time in oak can do for this rye whisky. On the nose, rich aromas of dried figs, brown sugar, and nutmeg mingle with polished oak. The palate is smoother and more rounded, with flavors of toffee, vanilla custard, toasted almond, and clove, layered over the trademark rye spice. The finish is long, balanced, and slightly sweet, with echoes of caramelized fruit and oak. Perfect neat or with a drop of water, it pairs well with roasted duck, pecan pie, or espresso-based desserts.
