Nose: Brown sugar and baking spices lead on the nose, with vanilla and mint.

Palate: The palate starts hot and bold, with cinnamon and licorice, along with candied orange peels, sour cherries, cola, and gingersnaps.

Finish: A powerful, lengthy finish shows rye spice, tannic oak and leather, along with sugar-dusted fresh mint as if you’re leaning into a Mint Julep.
