Distillery Tasting Note: This rye whiskey is a burst of sunshine in a glass, with tasting notes that transport you to a warm, breezy day. Imagine the sweetness of dried peaches, the zesty kick of lemon meringue, and the comforting richness of brown butter—all coming together in a harmonious symphony of flavours. The secret to this whiskey’s unique character lies in its finishing touch: after ageing in New American Oak, it spent time in a Sauternes cask, imparting subtle notes of honey, apricots, and lemon that elevate this rye to something truly special.
