Templeton Midnight Rye American Rye Blended with Dark Port Wine, 45%

Syrupy berries, raisins, and honeyed rye grain lead on the nose. The aroma is dense, with ripe red fruits and rye spice dominating. The palate is similar, with berry sweetness, cinnamon spice, and a prominent, slightly herbal tang. The port is noticeable, dialing back the rye spice and overwhelming the more subtle fruits the grain could offer. The finish has good length and a pleasant raspberry sweetness.
