Amber copper color. Aromas and flavors of brown spices, chocolate mint cookie, dried fruits, and root beer float with a penetrating, lightly tannic, fruity-yet-dry medium-full body and a long, tongue warming, nut, dried apricot, and mineral kissed finish. Remarkable palatable at this high proof and a little water rounds out and amps up the rye character nicely. A great rye cocktail choice.
