Visual Appearance:
The liquid possesses a deep amber color, reflecting its unique blend of ingredients. It shows good viscosity, indicating its rich texture and full body.
Nose (Aroma):
Upon nosing, an immediate hit of sweet orange zest is evident, combined with the natural spiciness of rye grains. Hints of honey and rock candy add a sweet complexity without overwhelming the natural aroma of the whiskey.
Palate (Taste):
The first sip reveals a harmonious blend of rye whiskey characteristics — the spiciness and earthy tones are there but beautifully balanced with the added flavors. Notes of orange peel and citrus fruits add a tangy sharpness, which is mellowed by the natural sweetness of honey and rock candy.
Finish:
The finish is moderately long with warming rye spiciness and a residual sweetness that remains. Citrus notes linger on the palate, along with a comforting honey smoothness.

Despite its sweet profile, Slow & Low Rock and Rye maintains a robust mouthfeel, leaving a lasting impression of its full-bodied characteristics.
