Nose: Black caramel, molasses and vanilla layered over tones of freshly cut grass and hints of ginger.
Palate: Spicy rye notes evolve with flavors of dark chocolate, licorice and fennel laced together with cardamom, black pepper and tarragon.
Finish: Lengthy, mounds of caraway seed and muddled spearmint with a peppery astringency.

Nose: Beautiful layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your dessert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak to remind you that this is high proof youthful.
Palate: A robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, and spices for days. It's a delicious rye with a weighty mouthfeel.
Finish: The finish is long and the spices dominate this batch, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface.
