  • Nose: Maple and brown sugar, French vanilla, cinnamon, baking spice and rich oak. 
  • Taste: Rich on the palate, layered, big, buttery texture. Pleasant oak - not too dry, but plenty of influence and structure here. Vanilla bean, toffee, tobacco, some black pepper and baking spice, sweet cream and a hint of cocoa. 
  • Finish: Long, packed with dessert and baking spice, pleasant oak but not too drying, great blend of cocoa, cinnamon, pepper, brown sugar and sweet caramels. 
  • Overall: Blended to be big and complex, sweet with plenty of spice and tannin to balance nicely.

• T8ke's Tasting Notes: Hefty and rye driven on the nose: bold sweetness, heavy rye spice, a crackle of ginger, toffee, oak, a hint of herbal pop, and gobs of sticky toffee and pleasant tannin. What strike me most is the ebb and flow of rye spice - peaking both on the palate and the nose: big sweetness gives way to pronounced rye spice, which gives way back to balancing oak, baking spice and undercurrents of sweet, dessert character. It has the vibrancy and the pop and crackle of the ryes I love most with the backbone, tannin and underlying sweetness to bring big complexity without shrouding how rye forward the pour is. Long finish, honey, cracked pepper, brown sugar and baking spice, hints of herbal and minty rye with cherries, tobacco and decadent spice.

Barrel #10 - Paige:

PROOF: 118.2

Balance of florals, cooked peaches and warm grains. Astonishing softness of vanilla with firm textures of oak. Concentrated toasted coconut and modest fruit. Finishes with nutmeg and a cloak of clove.
