Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Rich golden amber with copper highlights.

• Nose: Aromatic layers of clove, toasted oak, sweet vanilla, and candied citrus peel, followed by hints of licorice and baking spice.

• Palate: Bold yet balanced—peppery rye spice upfront with waves of caramel, anise, and citrus zest. The higher proof adds body and warmth without overwhelming the sweetness.

• Finish: Long, warming, and complex, with lingering notes of clove, pepper, and a touch of herbal mint.
