Nose

Intense.A big whiff of rye.Sour fruit. Cranberry jelly. Burnt plums. Touch of bitter orange marmalade. In time, a floral note. Freesia. Peony. Quite expressive and complex.

Palate

Smooth at start then crisp and tightened. The same profile as on the nose. Overcooked plum jam. Spices. Ginger, cinnamon. Rich and well balanced.

Finish

Long, oaky, spicy.

Comment

A bourbon close to a rye whiskey, well structured and quite complex.
