Master Distiller Molly Troupe blended this rich and spicy bourbon, arriving at an expression of vanilla, toffee and clove aromas with notes of nut and oak char that are folded in beautifully. The mash bill shows 20% rye and 10% malted barley, and that helps to keep things bright and lively on the palate, where a little berry note peeks through, no doubt thanks to finishing in Oregon Pinot Noir barrels. It’s a choice that makes for a unique take on the category, and it’s one worth seeking out.
