Taster

Nose: Shows maturity the more overt rye notes hidden behind rich leather/cedar wood with some red and black cherry/maraschino and a little chestnut. Light spice.

Palate: Big oak notes. Mellow and soft to start but once again the rye kicks in. Orange peel. Firmer grip. Not great with water.

Finish: The rye waits till very late on to kick the door down. All packed in here.

Comment: One for a cigar and a long conversation.

Score: 8.1

Taster

Nose: Deep and rich.Layers of leather and cigar boxes. There are soft red fruits and a little nuttiness.

Palate: Very laid back and takes its time to grip the palate. Oak is dominant then the rye takes over. Citrus and shades of dark coconut chocolate.

Finish: Long and lush. Very morish.

Comment: A perfect example of what an aged rye should offer.

Score: 8.9
