Minden Mill 4 year old, 47%

The nose is sweetly aromatic, yielding notes of candied nuts, cinnamon syrup, baking spice, brown sugar oatmeal, freshly baked pastry, and oatmeal raisin cookie. A silken mouthfeel is accented by additional bakery flavors and nice balanced spice. On the finish, root beer float and a small surge of cinnamon heat appear, adding sizzle and pop to this pleasant, easygoing sipper—new rye drinkers, this one is for you. (Release date: 11/24)
