Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of lemongrass and dry hay, sweet pickled garlic, candied orange and dark chocolate, dill pickle, and mint with a satiny, full body and a warming, complex, medium-long finish with notes of pastrami on rye bread, black pepper beef jerky, kola nut, and and orchard fruit. A spicy and savory Rye that will make a great old fashioned or pair with a Maduro cigar.
