Wine Enthusiast 91 points – Bright and buttery, this rye has a warm, malty scent and mellow flavors of cookie dough and juicy lemon, interspersed with just the right amount of rye bite. – K.N. (Jul 2013) Ultimate Beverage Challenge 92 points – (Tried & True Award)- Cherry and spice on the nose.This is a big and spicy rye, but also fruity, with cherries and stonefruit. Nicely astringent finish that goes on for a good long time. (Mar 2015)
