This high-proof rye opens with bold aromas of rye spice, fresh dill, smoky oak, and warm spice, immediately signaling its intensity and depth.

On the palate, it delivers a surprisingly smooth sweetness up front, followed by floral and herbal notes, supported by rich oak and classic rye grain character throughout.

The finish is lightly peppery with a late rye spice that gently lingers, offering warmth and complexity without being overwhelming.

Awards/Reviews:

Double Platinum - Ascot Awards 2026

"Spicy orange, light ginger and a dark oak that punch above its weight class. The viscosity really sticks around here as the spice builds from sip to sip. Dark cinnamon, subtle plum and dense oak just hit right. Need a bottle!!"

93 Points - Whisky Advocate

"This is proofed down to its barrel entry ABV before being bottled. Candied orange peel, malted milk chocolate, and sugared caffe latte on this sweet, balanced nose. A spicy palate, hot but tasty, with more chocolate, candied cherry, and jalapeño pepper throughout. Sweet candied raspberry and dry, spicy grain notes on the finish, with more chocolate, oak, and hints of tobacco. Zesty, sweet, and delicious."
