At 58% ABV, this hits hard but stays focused: ripe orchard fruit, rye spice, and caramelized sugar on the nose with a lemon zest brightness and graham cracker warmth. The palate is rich — honeyed chocolate, cherry cola, and cinnamon, with the alcohol carrying everything evenly. Finish is long, buttery, and oak-spiced with vanilla and fruit hanging on. Unusual mashbill: 51% corn, 49% rye — split between traditional rye and malted rye, which adds fermentation character you don't get from a standard rye grain bill. Sourced from Indiana and bottled at cask strength without chill filtration. No water added — what's in the glass is exactly what came out of the barrel.
