- Nose
- Whisky grain and lime lead the aroma with a dry, lifted edge.
- Palate
- This preserves the Rickey's dry lime-and-soda logic while showing how late-century bartenders multiplied the form by spirit brand and style.
- Finish
- The finish is lean, fizzy, and refreshing.
- Summary
- A whisky-specific Rickey branch from the family’s period of rapid expansion.
