Final Thoughts
This younger rye offers a vibrant, punchy character. The nose is lively, with aromas of green apple, mint, dill, and light caramel. On the palate, bright herbal notes combine with citrus zest, peppercorn, and vanilla sweetness, creating a balanced and energetic flavor. The finish is medium-long, leaving impressions of spice, mint, and oak. Bottled at barrel strength, it showcases intensity without losing approachability. Best neat or in a Manhattan, it pairs excellently with pastrami sandwiches, apple pie, or sharp cheeses. A bold rye that overdelivers for its age.
