Brothers of the Leaf Small Batch Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Toasted American White Oak Casks

Appearance:
Deep amber with glints of copper and gold, a sign of both maturity and intensity.

Nose (Aroma):
Inviting and layered. Toasted vanilla, baking spices, and caramelized sugar lead the way, followed by undertones of crisp apple, nutmeg, and lightly smoked oak. A hint of orange zest adds brightness to the depth.

Palate (Taste):
Full-bodied and bold with classic rye peppery spice upfront, evolving into warm waves of toffee, butterscotch, and baked apple pie. The toasted oak imparts a soft, woody sweetness with notes of graham cracker, maple, and cinnamon, rounding out the punchy rye grain.

Finish:
Long and warming. A tapering spice gives way to lingering flavors of vanilla bean, oak toast, and a gentle echo of dried fruit. The high proof leaves a pleasant heat without overwhelming the complexity.
