Price: 80 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Rye Whiskey

On the nose, this whiskey offers up a jumble of spices—allspice, cloves, cardamom, and white pepper—never fully settling. The sip is much more cohesive, bringing in apple cider, blueberry jelly, and raspberry, with creamy vanilla ice cream and cinnamon schnapps creating a sweetly spiced pour. The finish is gentle and chocolaty, with mocha, chocolate-covered espresso beans, and lightly toasted oak.
