On the nose, it presents itself as light and airy, with aromas of summer fruits, vanilla, subtle rye spice, and a hint of white pepper. On the palate, oak dominates, underscored by dry leather and tobacco notes, again with vanilla and a gentle spice. The latter persists in the short but distinct finish, along with the oak and vanilla. Whether enjoyed on the rocks, neat, or in classic cocktails, this Straight Rye Whiskey is best savored.
