Tasting Note

Nose : Outstanding aroma, kicked off by a spicy prickle. Satisfyingly deep, gentle vanilla-ed and molassed with even a sprig of sweet mint.
Palate: A rip-roaring waxy sweetness checked by a big build up of vanilla-rich oak. Corn is chewy and rye offers a rich textured background.
Finish : Dries at last as the oak takes command, but rye offers extra depth and a layer of bitterness as does a lingering licorice.
