Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
The color of this rye whiskey is a deep, reddish amber, indicative of its extended cask aging and complex XO finishing process. The spirit clings to the glass with noticeable legs, suggesting a rich, oily texture.
Nose (Aroma):
The olfactory profile is a tapestry of intrigue, commencing with robust notes of spicy rye and toasted oak. As it unfolds, a menagerie of complex aromas comes to the forefront—clove, nutmeg, and a delicate undercurrent of dried dark fruits akin to figs or dates, intermingled with a distinctive note of bayou terroir, no doubt imparted by the XO cask finish.
Palate (Taste):
The entry on the palate is luxurious, providing a warm spiciness from the rye, perfectly harmonized by nuances of dark chocolate and caramel. Mid-palate, a slight citrus zest comes into play, intertwined with flavors of pipe tobacco and leather. The XO cask influence is palpable, adding layers of exotic fruits and a subtle but captivating herbal complexity.
Finish:
Long, sophisticated, and wonderfully evolved, the finish leaves an enduring impression of spiced oak, a whisper of smoke, and the intriguing essence of its unique cask finish. These flavors linger in a fashion that encourages contemplative sipping.
Mouthfeel:
Full-bodied and velvety, the texture is exactly what you'd expect from a whiskey of this pedigree. It coats the palate thoroughly but never feels cloying, allowing each flavor component its moment in the spotlight.
