Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Rich amber with a deep copper hue, gleaming in the glass with an inviting warmth.

• Nose: The nose opens with a blend of caramelized sugar, dark vanilla, and toasted oak, alongside a spiced complexity of black pepper, cinnamon, and a hint of cloves. Subtle layers of dried fruit—figs and raisins—complement the sweeter aromas, while a touch of leather and smoke adds an intriguing depth.

• Palate: Bold and full-bodied on the first sip, the 2024 Bourye reveals its layered complexity. The initial sweetness of butterscotch and honey is beautifully balanced by the spicy kick of rye, with notes of cracked black pepper and dried herbs. The influence of bourbon adds a rich, smooth undertone of toffee, while a subtle smokiness from the oak barrels lingers beneath, creating a harmonious contrast to the bold rye character.

• Finish: The finish is long and warming, with the rye spice gradually fading into a velvety blend of vanilla, oak, and a whisper of dark chocolate. The cask strength provides a lingering heat that invites further exploration, leaving behind a satisfyingly complex and memorable aftertaste.
