NOSE – The barrel is front and center, with a very direct aroma of wood jumping out first. It’s the grain that brings the complexity, contributing tobacco, black peppercorn, and patchouli. Grilled mushroom, lanolin, and leather showcase rye’s savory side. There’s just a hint of fruit, notably rhubarb, raisins, and pineapple.

PALATE – Quite complex with hazelnut latte and autumn leaves rounding out the flavor of an old oloroso sherry. The tobacco from the nose reappears alongside chocolate nonpareils and a touch of gunpowder. Warm cola brings a syrupy richness to a texture enhanced by sandy tannins and an oily quality that reinforces a note of bacon.

FINISH – Purple plum and apple cider mark an unexpected fruity turn. They’re joined by sage, peppermint, and a bit of cigar ash which ultimately give way to the lingering flavor of pastis.
