- Nose
- Rye and a faint apricot note lead the nose.
- Palate
- This is a subtle but useful branch because it shows how named whiskey aromatics could be distinguished by very small cordial shifts rather than wholesale structural change.
- Finish
- The finish is dry, warm, and lightly fruity.
- Summary
- A lightly apricot-tinted rye aromatic from the named cocktail field.
