Color: Burnt Caramel
Nose: The nose starts off big, with mint leaf, spun sugar, almonds, caramel bark, and a heaping of dark cocoa. Then comes a wave of dark red berries, cookie crumble, and graham cracker pie crust. The nose is unmistakably rye, without feeling traditional. It’s leans on the sweeter side and has none of the earthy character of some of Jack Daniel’s earlier (younger) rye releases. It all comes together like mint chocolate dipped raspberry.
