DistillerNotes: 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal Winner

#14 Whisky Advocate Top 20 Whiskies of 2018

A very spicy rye whiskey! The nose has notes of mint, clove, cinnamon, licorice root, pine nuts,and dark chocolate, with a surprising dose of gin botanicals throughout. The flavor has rye spices up front, then menthol, mint, eucalyptus, herbal tea with wildflower honey and all spice. Cinnamon and mint, gradually sweetening through the finish, with a hint of anise.

Press Reviews

92WINE ENTHUSIAST

Billed as the spiciest rye whiskey anywhere, this is a blend of two rye whiskeys, both a minimum of two years old, sourced from multiple distilleries. The 2018 bottling has a mild, honeyed scent, while the palate surprises with vanilla custard contrasted by traces of smoke, eucalyptus and cigar wrapper. As promised, the long finish explodes with a spicy burstbut don’t worry, it’s not too extreme to sip.
