Barrel Select Rye

Cinnamon sticks for days, vanilla, caramel, with water the nose opens up with a huge maple scent , and even more cinnamon.

No water: The nose does not lie, its all cinnamon and maple on the palate. Syrupy, dense, rich. Some candied ginger appears at times ( the heat from that type of candy ) With water: Cinnamon is toned down quite a bit now. Much much more of the maple comes across on the tongue. Still a ton of oily syrup feel.

No water: Very dry oaky cinnamon flavors. Bit of toffee sweetness, burnt sugarsWith water: Remember when your Mom would cook with cinnamon and open that little tin of cinnamon and the dust would be in the air? That is sort of how the cinnamon comes across now. Some honey, bit of clove, even a bit of cracked pepper pop out now.
