Final Thoughts
Uncut and unfiltered, this limited release delivers pure intensity. The nose is powerful, with black pepper, burnt sugar, roasted coffee, and citrus oil. The palate is bold and layered, with flavors of caramelized brown sugar, clove, chili pepper, dark chocolate, and charred oak. Full-bodied and fiery, it rewards slow sipping and water additions to unlock depth. The finish is immense, with waves of rye spice, oak, and molasses. A powerhouse rye best paired with barbecue ribs, gingerbread, or rich blue cheese.
